## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{pval}, @var{Tsq}] =} hotelling_test_2 (@var{x}, @var{y})
## For two samples @var{x} from multivariate normal distributions with
## the same number of variables (columns), unknown means and unknown
## equal covariance matrices, test the null hypothesis @code{mean
## (@var{x}) == mean (@var{y})}.
##
## Hotelling's two-sample T^2 is returned in @var{Tsq}.  Under the null,
##
## @example
## (n_x+n_y-p-1) T^2 / (p(n_x+n_y-2))
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## has an F distribution with @math{p} and @math{n_x+n_y-p-1} degrees of
## freedom, where @math{n_x} and @math{n_y} are the sample sizes and
## @math{p} is the number of variables.
##
## 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.
