Part Probability

A normal linear model for a response vector \mathbf{Y}\in\mathbb{R}^n says

\mathbf{Y}=A\boldsymbol\beta+\boldsymbol\varepsilon, \qquad \boldsymbol\varepsilon\sim\operatorname{N}(\mathbf{0},\,\sigma^2 I_n),

with A a known n\times p matrix of full column rank, \boldsymbol\beta\in\mathbb{R}^p an unknown coefficient vector, and \sigma^2>0.
