Primes¶
- Distributional Assumption
- This assumption trades flexibility for tractability: it enables inference, prediction, and aggregation, but introduces model risk if reality deviates from the assumed shape, an idea Box (1979) crystallized in his "all models are wrong, but some are useful" doctrine of approximate model adequacy.
This sourceOriginating exposition of "all models are wrong, but some are useful": frames distributional assumptions as deliberate, simplifying approximations that trade exactness for tractability and inferential power.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
