Competitive Analysis Category
The chapter is devoted to a discussion of multivariate analysis of variance. A general model is presented first, followed by en exposition of the extension of experimental design techniques. Methods of follow-up analysis used to identify significant differences are also discussed.
The chapter suggests a method to analyze questions having to do with the relationship between sets of variables. The canonical method, which is the extension of multiple regression to the case of more than one variable, is discussed in depth. The text attempts to fill the gap in literature on canonical analysis.
The chapter evaluates the appropriateness of the canonical correlation approach as compared to other approaches when deciphering a certain problem. Also presented is the use of canonical analysis when comparing multiple perspectives in a research study. The text attempts to determine the reason behind the limited literature on canonical correlation analysis and fill that gap.
