A computer-simulated study was made of the sampling distribution of omega squared, a measure of strength of relationship in multivariate analysis of variance which had earlier been proposed by the author. It was found that this measure was highly positively biased when the number of variables is large and the sample size is small. A correction…

Part and bi-partial canonical correlations were developed by extending the definitions of part and bi-partial correlation to sets of variates. These coefficients may be used to help researchers explore relationships which exist among several sets of normally distributed variates. (Author)
