Hotelling's T-squared Distribution

Hotelling's T-squared distribution is a multivariate generalization of the t distribution.

Description

The T-squared distribution is used for the generalization of t tests for multiple jointly normally distributed variables. It is in fact a scaled version of the F distribution.

Consider the univariate case: there are

These sample means are characterized by the t distribution with n1 + n2 - 2 degrees of freedom.

The T-squared distribution generalizes this to p variables. The distribution is notated as T2(p, n1+n2-2).

Usage

Probability Tests

Much like how the t distribution is used for t tests, this distribution is used for multivariate t tests.
