Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MANCOVA allows for the control of other variables in the analysis, known as covariates, which can be partialled out to more effectively understand the relationship between the dependent variable(s) and independent variable(s). This is not possible in a MANOVA. Choice A is incorrect because both MANCOVA and MANOVA can have multiple dependent variables. Choice B is incorrect because both analyses can be conducted using a computer. Choice D is incorrect because only MANCOVA allows for the partialling out of covariates.
