Non parametric of Manova

[Hyungwoo Oh]

Hi! The title is the question. Is there a non parametric counterpart of Manova? I found that resampling method such as bootstrapping and permutation might be an alternative. Are these applicable in Stata?

Or can I conduct Kruskal-Wallis test and Jonckheere test for more than two dependent variables?

not a full answer, but: (1) you can bootstrap your Anova - you could also use -permute-; a simpler version may be to make new variables that are the rank transform of your current variables and use -manova- on the rank variables

Also not a full answer, but you can do pairwise comparisons using the multivariate nonparametric test for two groups with the user-written mv2snp.
