✦ Synopsis

The power of univariate and multivariate tests of significance is compared in relation to linear and nonlinear patterns of treatment effects in a repeated measurement design. Bonferroni correction was used to control the experiment-wise error rate in combining results from univariate tests of significance accomplished separately on average level, linear, quadratic, and cubic trend components. Multivariate tests on these same components of the overall treatment effect, as well as a multivariate test for between-groups difference on the original repeated measurements, were also evaluated for power against the same representative patterns of treatment effects. Results emphasize the advantage of parsimony that is achieved by transforming multiple repeated measurements into a reduced set of meaningful composite variables representing average levels and rates of change. The Bonferroni correction applied to the separate univariate tests provided experiment-wise protection against Type I error, produced slightly greater experiment-wise power than a multivariate test applied to the same components of the data patterns, and provided substantially greater power than a multivariate test on the complete set of original repeated measurements. The separate univariate tests provide interpretive advantage regarding locus of the treatment effects.

## Abstract A review of 167 cases of esophageal carcinoma without preoperative treatment revealed 24 (14.4%) to have intramural metastasis (IM) within the esophagus. Among the clinicopathologic factors, the length of the lesions (__P__ < 0.01), lymph node metastasis (__P__ < 0.001), and the depth o
