In this paper we obtain an asymptotic expansion for the distribution of Hotelling's T 2 -statistic T 2 under nonnormality when the sample size is large. In the derivation we find an explicit Edgeworth expansion of the multivariate t-statistic. Our method is to use the Edgeworth expansion and to expa

β¦ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the null distribution of test statistic T for testing a linear hypothesis in a linear model without assuming normal errors. The test statistic includes typical ANOVA test statistics. It is known that the null distribution of T converges to w 2 when the sample size n is large under an adequate condition of the design matrix. We extend this result by obtaining an asymptotic expansion under general condition. Next, asymptotic expansions of one-and two-way test statistics are obtained by using this general one. Numerical accuracies are studied for some approximations of percent points and actual test sizes of T for two-way ANOVA test case based on the limiting distribution and an asymptotic expansion.
