ADISPLAY directive
Displays further output from analyses produced by ANOVA.

Description
The ADISPLAY directive allows you to display further output from one or more analyses of variance, without having to repeat all the calculations. You can store the information from each analysis in a save structure, using ANOVA, and then specify the same structure in the SAVE parameter of ADISPLAY. Several save structures can be listed, corresponding to the analyses of several different variates. They need not all have been produced by the same ANOVA statement nor even be from the same design. Alternatively, if you just want to display output from the last y-variate that was analysed, you need not specify the SAVE parameter in either ANOVA or ADISPLAY: the save structure for the last y-variate analysed is saved automatically, and provides the default for ADISPLAY.
Apart from CHANNEL, all the options of ADISPLAY also occur with ANOVA and are described there. CHANNEL can be set to a scalar to divert the output to another output channel. Alternatively, it can specify the identifier of text data structure to store the output (and in fact an undeclared structure will be defined as a text, automatically).
The other difference concerns the options for printed output. The default for PRINT with ADISPLAY is different from that with ANOVA. You are most likely to use ADISPLAY when you are working interactively, to examine one component of output at a time, and it is not obvious that any one component will then be more popular than any other. So the default for ADISPLAY produces no output (that is, PRINT=*). This also means that you do not need to suppress the output explicitly when you are using UPRINT and CPRINT to examine components of output from analysis of covariance. Also, the settings information, covariates, and missingvalues have a slightly different effect with ANOVA than with ADISPLAY. As they are part of the default specified for ANOVA, they will not produce any output unless there is something definite to report. With ADISPLAY you need to request them explicitly, so GenStat will always produce some sort of report. For example, putting
ADISPLAY [PRINT=missing]
when there are no missing values will simply tell you there are none.
