# Coefficient Test

**The Knowledge of Coefficient Test and Assumption** \
\
Fact that Jennifer is able to compute E ( P ( s ) ) does not guarantee she will indeed send E ( P ( s ) ) to Ted, rather than some completely unrelated value.

Thus, we need a way to “force” Jennifer to follow the protocol correctly.

We denote by g a generator of a group G of order | G | = p where the discrete log is hard. It will be convenient from this post onwards to write our group additively rather than multiplicatively. That is, for α ∈ F p , α ⋅ g denotes the result of summing α copies of g .\ <br>

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://priceai.gitbook.io/priceai-whitepaper/priceai-protocol/coefficient-test.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
