Subject:      More on Repeated Measures

Thanks so much for all help received on repeated measures.  I am emboldened
to ask a further question.  When one does a multivariate repeated measures
analysis, there are two tables of multivariate results.  The first is
labelled ‘Multivariate Tests’ and contains tests of the intercept and within
subject factor.  (For now let’s assume just one repeated factor).  The
second table is labelled ‘Tests of Within-Subjects Effects’ and contains
just the tests of the repeated factor.  I have not ever had the problem of
these two tables giving substantially different answers, such as one
significant and the other not.  But the numbers and degrees of freedom etc.
are different and I have never been sure why and particularly not sure which
one should be reported.

Thanks again,

Susan
