bonferroni adjustment in MANOVA

Talino Bruno
What is the prevailing wisdom regarding doing a bonferroni adjustment to
evaluate significance in a MANOVA. I read about one suggestion where the
significance level is dived by the number of dependent variables? What do
you folks suggest?

Re: bonferroni adjustment in MANOVA

Swank, Paul R
Do you mean, use the Bonferroni correction for univariate tests one each
DV following the MANOVA? Why are you doing a MANOVA if you want to look
at individual variables. You can use the discriminant functions to
compare groups on the independent components of the dependent variables.
The real question I guess is do you really want a MANOVA? Maybe you
should look at Huberty, C.J. & Morris, J.D. (1989). Multivariate
analyses versus multiple univariate analyses. Psychological Bulletin,
105, 302-308.
