## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{pval}, @var{tsq}] =} hotelling_test (@var{x}, @var{m})
## For a sample @var{x} from a multivariate normal distribution with unknown
## mean and covariance matrix, test the null hypothesis that @code{mean
## (@var{x}) == @var{m}}.
##
## Hotelling's @math{T^2} is returned in @var{tsq}.  Under the null,
## @math{(n-p) T^2 / (p(n-1))} has an F distribution with @math{p} and
## @math{n-p} degrees of freedom, where @math{n} and @math{p} are the
## numbers of samples and variables, respectively.
##
## The p-value of the test is returned in @var{pval}.
##
## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed.
