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.
