[R] MANOVA proportion of variance explained

[Sam Brown]

Hi Michael
 
Thank you very much for the intel regarding eta^2. It is pretty much the sort of thing that I am wanting.
 
Found a good paper regarding all this:
 
Estimating an Effect Size in One-Way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)
H. S. Steyn Jr; S. M. Ellisa
Multivariate Behavioral Research
2009 44: 1, 106 — 129

While the interpretation of univariate eta^2 is pretty intuitive, I'm still having a little bit of trouble getting my head around the exact interpretation of the statistic in the multivariate case. Will have to continue reading around!
 
Thanks again!
 
Sam
