It can be shown that the coefficient vector the so-called 'discriminant function' which maximises this statistic "s ä = S' (j1 – J2) . Using the discriminant function, show that the square of the maximised T-statistic is nothing other than the original Hotelling's T2 statistic for two samples, i.e. -1 T² = (ñn – 72)" ( (- 1 Spl n2 (51 – 52). n1
