A Note on Testing for the Interaction in a MANOVA Model

Abstract

SumwryFor D multivariate two way clsssificthoii model with a single replicutc per cell, likelihood r h o test for the interaction itre derived assuming certain strrtctures on the iiikmctioii. Tht! undi-rlying distribution is iisurned to be ellipticslly symmetric.Key m ' d s ; Elliptically symmetric distributions ; Interaction ; Likelihcd ratio test ; MANOVA. lntrodurtioiiThe present article concerns with h t i n g the presence of interaction in a two way classification iiiodel with a single replicate per cell.
