Recalling Brody et al. (2000), doi.org/10.1016/S014..., accessible with discussion and response to discussants at johnsnow.matrix.msu.edu/work.php/id=..., I suspect the two cases are not as aligned as they seem. Briefly, Snow drew the map to prove his point, he already knew the answer.

Yes, it's a QR decomposition, a bespoke one modified by Ross from LINPACK fortran code.
The key difference from LINPACK (in src/appl/dqrdc2.f) is that it pivots only when really needed, so that computing sequential "this beta adjusted for the previous ones" is more straightforward.

this is my very favourite comment from the R code base: github.com/r-devel/r-sv... (this more than 28 years ago - I didn't feel like doing the archaeology to trace the code back through a file reorganization that was done in 1998 ...)
