Related unadjusted and adjusted treatment effect estimates for the multivariate response variable are also found and their properties discussed.
To briefly summarize the methodology described in Wilson et al. [13], CCA models were developed, based on a 1/8th subsample of the plots, that related the multivariate response variable measured on the field plots (live tree basal area by species) with the associated 21 predictor variables extracted from the raster stack at each plot location.

The contribution is to introduce a novel model for multivariate data where some response variables are discrete and some are continuous.
In all regressions, the 8 PCs associated with NEFD defined the multivariate response and the independent variables considered were: the bio-anthropometric, height and population.
In the analysis, the response variables were multivariate gene expression levels of transcript probes for a T-gene and the independent variable was the ethnic groups of interest.
EPHTN data are characteristic of much information currently being collected they are multivariate, with many predictors and response variables, often aggregated over geographic regions (small and large) and correlated in space and/or time.
They pose, however, some limitations derived from (i) potential trait multicollinearity, (ii) biases introduced by failure to include traits that covary with fitness, (iii) deviations of response variables from multivariate normality assumed for hypothesis testing, and (iv) failure to consider environmental factors that may induce spurious correlations [ 9].
These methods involve a hierarchical decomposition of a multivariate response function in terms of variables with increasing dimensions and score functions associated with probability distribution of a random input.
It is worth noting from the multivariate response model that the socioeconomic variables of interest had stronger associations with physical functioning (accounting for 24% of variation) than psychological well-being (accounting for 7% of total variation).
