Hmm, I have my elements (as in chemical elements) as columns and my samples
as rows.  This is the normal way round for all my other analyses.  I think I
figured it out...  I have 6 groups, all of about 10-12 samples and each with
31 elements.  So for each group there are many more elements than samples
and it makes the analysis impossible due to the problems of the singular
covariance matrix, if I've got that right.
Is that the problem?

If this is a MANOVA with 31 responses (elements) then the problem is that those responses are linearly dependent after subtracting group means (and quite possibly before). With 86 samples this is not normal (MANOVA is using a common covariance matrix for each group, not one for each group).

I do wonder what your aim is: this seems to be using MANOVA to do LDA.

Rank deficiency is usually an indication of under-determination, if I've
got it right.

But something is clearly odd, because with 31-column matrix of 86 rows,
you should have 86 residuals for each of 31 models, not 31 residuals.
Could your matrix be the wrong way round?

Thanks for that, the error I get when I use manova is this:

Error in summary.manova(fit) : residuals have rank 30 < 31

What does this mean??

When I call the formula I get 31 residuals and 31 residual standard
errors.
Not sure why I get this error?

Thanks

test="Wilks" is available in summary.manova, but not in summary.aov;
could that be the problem? I find in ?summary.manova the example
makes a
clear distinction between these three summaries...

    fit <- manova(Y ~ rate * additive)
    summary.aov(fit)           # univariate ANOVA tables
    summary(fit, test="Wilks") # ANOVA table of Wilks' lambda
    summary(fit)               # same F statistics as single-df
terms

Another common variable in anova using R is the way contrasts are
set;
you might check that with your colleague?.

Hi,

I'm doing anova on a matrix of multivariate data where I want to
assess
the
effect of each column (element).

My matrix is 86 rows x 31 columns.  I've created a grouping factor
of
length
86 containing group assignments of 6 types.

Then I run:

x<- aov(matrix~grouping.factor)
summary(aov.fit.raw, test="Wilks")

This is working fine enough, but I'm getting different results to
someone
who I'm comparing with - am I doing what I think I am doing here??

What I think I'm doing is - take the first column (element) and then
look at
that element between the 6 groups and report F, Pvalue etc..., then
move
onto the 2nd column and repeat.

Thanks
