13. 4:47 AM Multivariate statistical techniques can be divided into four general types of analytic problems Problems that require evaluation of the associations among two or more variables. In univariate or bivariate cases, these include bivariate correlation (r), simple regression (R) and chi square (?2). Multivariate cases include canonical R, multiple R, sequential R, and multiway frequency analysis (fancy chi square).
When the problem calls for testing the significance of group mean score differences. In univariate or bivariate analysis, these include t test and one-way analysis of variance. Multivariate techniques include factorial ANOVA and various forms of multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA & MANCOVA).
14. 4:47 AM When the question calls for predicting group membership; e.g., what combination of variables separate republicans, democrats, and independents from one another? In the two group case, we use logistic regression or two-group discriminant function analysis. More than two groups employ multiple discriminant analysis.
When the problem is to discern the latent structure underlying a set of variables. Coping with stress may have underlying structures like escape vs confrontation or social distance vs social contact. Principal components analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA) assess how variables group together to form latent structures. A more complex form is structural equation modeling.
