ANOVA versus MANOVA

Gaby Yu

In real world research or industrial analysis, comparison among multiple groups can be requested frequently across different fields such as business, communication, health, and science. What model should you choose and what is the difference between these models? In this COMBINE peer-to-peer tutorial, I will introduce the One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). It will consist of
(1) the concepts of ANOVA and MANOVA and (2) step-by-step demo to run ANOVA and MANOVA models using SAS Studio.
I hope this tutorial can help you differentiate the pros and cons of ANOVA and MANOVA, and get familiar with quantitative comparison among multiple groups, as well as know when to use the proper model and why.
Datasets for the two examples and SAS code can be accessed here
No prior machine learning experience necessary, CoLab notebook will be distributed prior to tutorial for audience to follow along.
