Specifically, I would like to assume the X vector comes from a bivariate Normal distribution (M, Sigma). Then, given 1000 observations on X, I wanted to test if the means of X agree with the means of the target Normal distribution. Any function or package in R could do such a test? Thanks!

Y <- sweep(X,2,c(3,4))
m1 <- lm(Y~1)
m2 <- lm(Y~0)
anova(m1, m2)
