Jan 25, 2013 at 0:51 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica My guess is that MANCOVA is a reasonable option for your situation.
Jan 25, 2013 at 0:11 comment added user20045 @gung Just to add, am I correct in saying MANCOVA should be more suited to my data than ANCOVA as it also allows for more than one DV, and that MANCOVA & a Multivariate Linear Model are the same thing? Thanks again for all the help.

Jan 24, 2013 at 22:30 comment added user20045 Thank you for your advice. @gung Actually I was advised ANOVA, but maybe they didn't understand the part about having a continuous factor. My DVs are all measures of the same idea, for example, duration or frequency (all relating to sound measurements).
Jan 24, 2013 at 21:18 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica @PeterEllis, is right. An analysis w/ both categorical & continuous variables is often called ANCOVA (note the "C"). It may be that this is what you were advised, & you mis-heard or they accidentally mis-spoke. Typically w/ ANCOVA you are primarily concerned with the categorical vars, & the continuous are considered nuisance vars; also traditionally ANCOVA means you don't have interactions b/t the continuous & categorical. But all of this is subsumed by multiple reg, so you can do as you like. What is the deal w/ your 5 DVs? Are they all measures of the same idea, or independent questions?

Jan 24, 2013 at 19:14 comment added Peter Ellis This question has come up before. ANOVA and so called "multiple regression" are equivalent; in R just use lm() in either case. The more tricky problem is how to deal with your five responses (rather than the more traditional one response variable). There are ways to do this though.
