Applications   (1)
Hotelling's -statistic is used to test whether multivariate data has a given mean:
For multivariate normal data of length with mean , the test statistic follows a HotellingTSquareDistribution where is the dimension of the data:
Obtain the test statistic and -value for some data:
Alternatively, use TTest:
