Generalized Linear Model (GLM) Hypothesis Testing - Repeated Measures and Multiple Dependent Variables

In the discussion of different hypotheses that can be tested using the general linear model, the tests have been described as tests for "the dependent variable" or "the outcome." This has been done solely to simplify the discussion. When there are multiple dependent variables reflecting the levels of repeated measure factors, the general linear model performs tests using orthonormalized multiple transformations of the dependent variables. When there are multiple dependent variables but no repeated measure factors, the general linear model performs tests using the hypothesis sums of squares and cross-products for the multiple dependent variables, which are tested against the residual sums of squares and cross-products for the multiple dependent variables. Thus, the same hypothesis testing procedures which apply to univariate designs with a single dependent variable also apply to repeated measure and multivariate designs.
