Abstract
This paper is concerned with asymptotic distribution of Hotelling's T2-statistic under the elliptical distribution for the null hypothesis and the local alternative under the elliptical distribution. Asymptotic expansions for the distribution of T2 for the null case and the local alternative are given up to the order N−1, where N is the sample size. The percentiles of T2 and the approximate powers are calculated to evaluate the effect of the elliptical distribution for some numerical examples. Also to evaluate the effect of an adjustment of Bartlett type to Hotelling's T2 for the local alternative, the approximate power of adjusted T2 is calculated in comparison with one of nonadjusted T2.
