Study Hint

Learn the MANOVA function manova() in Splus. By applying coef(), residuals(), predict(), etc. to the manova object it returns, you can reproduce the calculations of Example 6.8 including the MANOVA table on p. 325. Click here to see the results.

Computer Lab Exercises

These exercises are for self-directed learning. They will not be graded and you do not have to hand them in. However, you will find that writing down your interpretation of the results is an excellent way to clarify your understanding. If you complete your report and submit it to me, I will read it and return it with comments and suggestions.
