Abstract

A new series representation of the exact distribution of Hotelling’s generalized T 0 2 statistic is obtained. Unlike earlier work, the series representation given here is everywhere convergent. Explicit formulae are given for both the null and the noncentral distributions. Earlier results by Constantine [1], which are convergent on the interval [0,1), are also derived quite simply from our formulae.
