A secondary analysis of a nutrition experi ment in Cali, Colombia was conducted.
The theme of the reanalysis was the notion
of competing methods of analysts. Specifically, the effect of nutritional supplementa
tion on the physical development of malnourished children was analyzed by means
of univariate and multivariate methods for
the analysis of repeated measures. It was
concluded that the nutritional treatment
was successful, but to assess the precise
nature of the effect, it was necessary to
resort to the multivariate approach.
