Wilks' lambda is the most commonly used MANOVA test statistic. It is a measure of the proportion of variance in the dependent variables that is not accounted for by the independent variables, and it ranges from 0 (perfect discrimination) to 1 (no discrimination). The other options (Pillai's trace, Hotelling's trace, and chi-square) are also commonly used in MANOVA, but not as frequently as Wilks' lambda.
