MANCOVA, multivariate ANCOVA.
Test for the univariate effect of each variable on the outcome after adjusting for covariates.
Covariates in the model included whether a household was affected by the disaster, head of the household’s sex, age and education attained, household size, main source of livelihood, existence of assets to complement food source, whether the household had received relief food and diet diversity.
Covariates in the model included whether a household was affected by the disaster, head of the household’s sex, age and education attained, household size, main source of livelihood, existence of assets to complement food source, whether the household had received relief food and food insecurity.
Test for multivariate effect of each variable on both outcomes after adjusting for covariates. Given two dependent variables in the model, Hotelling’s Trace value is reported.
