Jose:  You might want to check out the multiresponse permutation procedure 
(MRPP) family of statistics as they can perform permutation tests of 
common distributions among groups of multivariate response data or perform 
tests of equality of multivariate means among groups (i.e., a permutation 
version of MANOVA).  Note the former hypothesis test is more general than 
a test of multivariate means as it detects multiple forms of difference in 
distributions (shifts in medians, dispersion, both).  I don't know whether 
any of this has been programmed in R.  You can obtain a simple user 
friendly implementation in the USGS Blossom software 
(www.fort.usgs.gov/products/software/blossom/blossom.asp) or obtain the 
raw Fortran programs from Paul Mielke's web site at Colorado State 
University Statistics Department.

Subject
[R] non parametric MANOVA






Dear colleagues,

has anyone an idea how to carry out a nonparametric manova for comparing K
groups?

has anyone a good package of non-parametric stats?


Thank you for your help.
