How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
A fixed-design slope contrast and nested-model F statistic
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice. Use the fixed design with rows and observations . The full model has intercept and slope; the reduced model has only an intercept, so the rank difference is . The least-squares estimates are , the full residual sum is , and the reduced residual sum is . Thus the observed slope t statistic under is , and the nested-model F statistic is
Under fixed-design normal errors with the null true, the theorem gives exact laws for the contrast and for the nested-model statistic.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The displayed deterministic design, response vector, and the fixed-design normal error model under the null.
For a fixed full-rank Gaussian design, every nonzero coefficient contrast has an exact t pivot and a nested reduced/full model has the stated exact F pivot. QR decomposition gives exact t and F pivots in the fixed Gaussian linear model
Verification
The two design columns are orthogonal: their inner product is , and each has squared norm . Hence . The displayed least-squares coefficients are and . The full fitted values are , so the residuals are and .
The reduced fit is the sample mean , with residuals and . For , and , so the observed null t statistic is .
The rank difference is one and the denominator degrees of freedom are . Therefore . Under the normal model and the null , [F1] gives the exact law; the t contrast has the exact law and its square agrees with here.

Dependency tree · two levels
23 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
