Selecting a Multivariate Technique

1. What type of relationship is being examined –


dependence or interdependence?
2. Dependence relationship: How many variables are
being predicted?
 What is the measurement scale of the dependent
variable?
 What is the measurement scale of the predictor
variable?
3. Interdependence relationship: Are you examining
relationships between variables, OR respondents?
