Ian, This means you have more variables than specimens, which your data file confirms. A parametric manova is not possible, because the algebra cannot be completed, because the covariance matrix will be singular. Dean Dr. Dean C. Adams Director of Graduate Education, EEB Program

Hey everyone, I am trying to run MANOVA on some morphometric data to determine if three groups of specimens are statistically distinct. but i am receiving the error code Error in summary.manova(Raf.manova1) : residuals have rank 27 < 60. Can anyone spot what i am doing wrong? My data is

Dear all, as an addendum to my previous message on tests for multivariate normality, I've just noticed that a new R package for this (MVN by Korkmaz et al 2014 - http://journal.r-project.org/archive/2014-2/korkmaz-goksuluk-zararsiz.pdf ) is out. Best, Carmelo -- Carmelo Fruciano Marie
