      Abstract：The classical one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical method for comparing the mean differences between two or more groups of items when there is only one response variable. The ANOVA idea was extended to the simultaneous comparison between the mean responses from several populations with more than one response variable. This is called the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The existing method for MANOVA is based on the idea of maximum likelihood ratio (MLR) that results in the well-known Wilks' Lambda-statistic, which requires the sample size n must be greater than the dimension p (n>p). In modern medical research, however, the outcomes from a large number of response variables can be easily measured from experiments with the help of modern medical instruments, while the number of patients could be limited due to experimental complexity or high cost. This results in the case that the sample size may be smaller than the dimension (n≤p). The classical Wilks' Lambda-statistic is no longer applicable for the case of n≤p. In this paper, we propose the idea of applying principal component analysis (PCA) to dimension reduction for high-dimensional ANOVA. The new method is applicable for any sample size and dimension. Based on the theory of spherical distributions, the exact null distribution of the test statistics are proved to follow the F-distribution.  Monte Carlo simulation results show that the dimension reduction approach to high-dimensional ANOVA has competitive power performance. It dominates over the classical Wilks' Lambda-statistic significantly when n>p with n being close to p. An application of the new MANOVA method is illustrated by real medical datasets.
