Comment: We are interested in the conditions under which hospitals start monitoring their patients for hospital-acquired infection. The dependent variables are xratio and culratio. The first question is, if we control for infection risk, does hospital size (as represented by census & nbeds) help predict monitoring as represented by xratio and culratio? manova xratio culratio census nbeds infrisk /* Variable List / analysis = xratio culratio /* DV list / design = pool(infrisk), pool(census nbeds) . /* Each block of vars (in parentheses) is controlled for all other blocks. Comment: The F-tests for R-square change are exactly the univariate Fs from manova, for the pool(census nbeds) block. regression variables = census nbeds infrisk xratio culratio / statistics = default change / dependent = xratio culratio / enter infrisk / enter census nbeds . Comment: This shows 3 blocks. Each is controlled for the other two. manova xratio culratio census nbeds infrisk stay /* Variable list / analysis = xratio culratio /* DV list / design = pool(infrisk), pool(census nbeds), pool(stay).
