| Abstract: | This paper concerns the nonparametric evaluation of chessboard MANOVA designs. For this purpose, a matching procedure based on rook methodology is suggested as a complement to predictive coafigural frequency analysis. Using this procedure, a multivariate hypothesis can be tested in a single test. It is also possible to design a significance test to fit a specific composite hypothesis. The procedure is illustrated by results from a multivariate psychopharmacological experiment in which the effects of alcohol and caffeine were studied on test performance and volatility. |
