Abstract
In the paper we present a new test for comparison of the means of multivariate samples with unknown distributions. The test is based on the comparison of the distributions of the distances between the samples’ elements and their means using univariate two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The activity of the suggested method is illustrated by numerical analysis of the real-world and simulated data.

Clarification about the spreading parameters of the samples was added (see section 2, the last sentence of the second paragraph and section 5, the furst paragraph after the algorithm).
