    Syntax

    s = stats(maov)
    s = stats(maov,TestStatistic=testStat)
    [s,H,E] = stats(___)

    Description

    s = stats(maov) returns a MANOVA table for the manova object maov. The MANOVA table contains statistics for the model terms, error, and total.

    example

    s = stats(maov,TestStatistic=testStat) specifies the test statistics to display in the MANOVA table.

    [s,H,E] = stats(___) also returns a table H of the hypothesis matrices for the MANOVA model terms, and the error matrix E used to perform the MANOVA, using any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntaxes.

    Load the fisheriris data set.

    The column vector species contains iris flowers of three different species: setosa, versicolor, and virginica. The matrix meas contains four types of measurements for the flower: the length and width of sepals and petals in centimeters.

    Perform a one-way MANOVA with species as the factor and the measurements in meas as the response variables.

    maov = manova(species,meas);

    maov is a manova object that contains the results of the one-way MANOVA. Display the corresponding MANOVA table.

    The small p-value for species indicates that the flower species has a statistically significant effect on at least one of the flower measurements.

    Load the carsmall data set.

    load carsmall

    The variable Model_Year contains data for the year a car was manufactured, and the variable Cylinders contains data for the number of engine cylinders in the car. The Acceleration, Displacement, and Weight variables contain data for car acceleration, displacement, and weight.

    Use the table function to create a table from the data in Model_Year, Cylinders, Acceleration, Displacement, and Weight.

    tbl = table(Model_Year,Cylinders,Acceleration,Displacement,Weight,VariableNames=["Year" "Cylinders" "Acceleration" "Displacement" "Weight"]);

    Perform a two-way MANOVA using the table variables Year and Cylinders as factors, and the Acceleration, Displacement, and Weight variables as response variables.

    maov = manova(tbl,"Acceleration,Displacement,Weight ~ Cylinders + Year")
    maov =

  Properties, Methods

    maov is a two-way manova object that contains the results of the two-way MANOVA. The small p-value for Cylinders indicates that enough evidence exists to conclude that Cylinders has a statistically significant effect on the mean response vector.

    Return the hypothesis and error matrices for the MANOVA model terms.

    The variables in the table H correspond to the MANOVA model terms of the same name. Each variable contains the hypothesis matrix for its corresponding MANOVA model term. The error matrix E contains the irreducible error for the MANOVA model. You can use H and E to perform hypothesis tests that are not supported by MATLAB® or Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™.

    MANOVA results, specified as a manova object. The properties of maov contain the response data and factor values used by stats to calculate the statistics in the MANOVA table.

    MANOVA test statistics, specified as maov.TestStatistic, "all", or one or more of the following values.

    ValueTest NameEquation
    "pillai" (default)Pillai's trace

    V=trace(Qh(Qh+Qe)−1)=∑θi,

    where θi values are the solutions of the characteristic equation Qh – θ(Qh + Qe) = 0. Qh and Qe are, respectively, the hypotheses and the residual sum of squares product matrices.

    "hotelling"Hotelling-Lawley trace

    U=trace(QhQe−1)=∑λi,

    where λi are the solutions of the characteristic equation |Qh – λQe| = 0.

    "wilks"Wilk's lambda

    Λ=|Qe||Qh+Qe|=∏11+λi.

    "roy"Roy's maximum root statistic

    Θ=max(eig(QhQe−1)).

    If you specify testStat as "all", stats calculates all the test statistics in the table above.

    Example: TestStatistic="hotelling"
