to error has a Wishart distribution. Analogous to ANOVA‚ MANOVA is based on the product of model variance matrix‚ Σmodel and inverse of the error variance matrix‚ [pic]‚ or [pic]. The hypothesis that Σmodel = Σresidual implies that the product A∼I[2] . Invariance considerations imply the MANOVA statistic should be a measure of magnitude of the singular value decomposition of this matrix product‚ but there is no unique choice owing to the multi-dimensional nature of the alternative hypothesis.
