Hi Michael
Thank you very much for the intel regarding eta^2. It is pretty much the sort of thing that I am wanting.
The latest developer version of the heplots package on R-Forge now includes an initial implementation of etasq() for multivariate linear models. Note that for s>1 dimensional tests, the values of eta^2 differ according to the test statistic: Pillai trace (default), Hotelling-Lawley trace, Wilks' Lambda, Roy maximum root test. See ?heplots:::etasq for details.

Found a good paper regarding all this: Estimating an Effect Size in One-Way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)

This paper may be more confusing than helpful, since the emphasis is on the use of eta^2 as measures of multivariate 'effect size' and I think they try to blend in too many different threads from the effect-size literature. And they don't discuss what happens in designs with more than one factor or regressor. In the general case, etasq() calculates measures of partial eta^2, reflecting the *additional* proportion of variance associated with a given term in the full model that includes it, relative to the reduced model that excludes it, analogous to partial R^2 in univariate
regression models.

Subject: Re: MANOVA proportion of variance explained

I think you are looking for a multivariate measure of association, analogous to R^2 for a univariate linear model. If so, there are
extensions of eta^2 from univariate ANOVAs for each of the multivariate
test statistics, e.g.,

for Pillai (-Bartlett) trace and Hotelling-Lawley trace and a given effect tested on p response measures

eta2(Pillai) = Pillai / s
eta2(HLT) = HLT / (HLT+s)
where s = min(df_h, p)

Alternatively, you could look at the candisc package which, for an s-dimensional effect, gives a breakdown of the variance reflected in
each dimension of the latents roots of HE^{-1}

Hello everybody

After doing a MANOVA on a bunch of data, I want to be able to make some comment 
on the amount of variation in the data that is explained by the factor of 
interest. I want to say this in the following way: XX% of the data is explained 
by A.

I can acheive something like what I want by doing the following:
X <- structure(c(9, 6, 9, 3, 2, 7), .Dim = as.integer(c(3, 2)))
Y <- structure(c(0, 2, 4, 0), .Dim = as.integer(c(2, 2)))
Z <- structure(c(3, 1, 2, 8, 9, 7), .Dim = as.integer(c(3, 2)))
U <- rbind(X,Y,Z)
m <- manova(U~as.factor(rep(1:3, c(3, 2, 3))))
summary(m,test="Wilks")
SS<-summary(m)$SS
(a<-mean(SS[[1]]/(SS[[1]]+SS[[2]])))

and concluding that 94% of variation is explained.

Is my desire misguided? If it is a worthy aim, is this a valid way of acheiving 
it?

Thanks a lot!

Sam
