ffmanova:Fifty-Fifty MANOVA
General linear modeling with multiple responses (MANCOVA). An overall p-value for each model term is calculated by the
50-50 MANOVA method by Langsrud (2002)
<doi:10.1111/1467-9884.00320>, which handles collinear
responses. Rotation testing, described by Langsrud (2005)
<doi:10.1007/s11222-005-4789-5>, is used to compute adjusted
single response p-values according to familywise error rates
and false discovery rates (FDR). The approach to FDR is
described in the appendix of Moen et al. (2005)
<doi:10.1128/AEM.71.4.2086-2094.2005>. Unbalanced designs are
handled by Type II sums of squares as argued in Langsrud (2003)
<doi:10.1023/A:1023260610025>. Furthermore, the Type II
philosophy is extended to continuous design variables as
described in Langsrud et al. (2007)
<doi:10.1080/02664760701594246>. This means that the method is
invariant to scale changes and that common pitfalls are
avoided.
