In this paper, we develop a systematic theory for high dimensional analysis of variance in multivariate linear regression, where the dimension and the number of coefficients can both grow with the sample size. We propose a new U type test statistic to test linear hypotheses and establish a high dimensional Gaussian approximation result under fairly mild moment assumptions. Our general framework and theory can be applied to deal with the classical one-way multivariate ANOVA and the nonparametric one-way MANOVA in high dimensions. To implement the test procedure in practice, we introduce a sample-splitting based estimator of the second moment of the error covariance and discuss its properties. A simulation study shows that our proposed test outperforms some existing tests in various settings.
