Why is it rarely reported in papers which type of sums of squares is used in Anova results?
Following my short experience in statistics, it seems that the type of sums of squares (type I,II,III,IV...) used in getting ANOVA results could make a dramatic difference in test results (especially of models with interactions and missing data).…

MANOVA as protection against Type I errors
OK, so I have absolutely scoured the internet, and it appears that there is consensus (among people who really care about Type I error) that doing a MANOVA before doing multiple ANOVAs does nothing to protect against Type I error. But then, there's…
