Subject:      SPSS Adjusted Means Question

Dear stats experts,

My name is Cortney Warren and I am a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology
at A&M, currently finishing my dissertation. I conducting multivariate
analyses and trying to determine if there is a way to get group centroid
values on a canonical variable/discriminant function (with 3 DV's) by group
(Categorical IV: participant ethnicity (3 levels)) after adjusting for
covariates (pre-test scores). In SPSS, the Discrimant procedure doesnt seem
to allow for covariates and the manova/GLM procedure doesn't give adjusted
centroid values (it will give group centroid values WITHOUT the covariate,
but not WITH covariates as far as I can tell).

Does anyone know how to get group centroid values after controlling for a
covariate using SPSS? If not, is there another program that will calculate
them for me?


Thank you for your time,
Cortney S. Warren
