Hotelling's T-squared distribution

Hotelling's t-squared distribution is about how two measurements compare to each other. It's like two people weighing themselves at the same time. A Hotelling's t-squared distribution measures how far apart their weights are relative to each other. The t-squared distribution tells us how much each person's weight is different from the other. The larger the t-squared value, the different the two points are from one another.
