- The neighbor feared a conspiracy to take his property, revealing mistrust tied to statistical uncertainty.
Linear Regression Clash Story
- A researcher used linear regression with a binary outcome, insisting it was valid despite misfit concerns.
- This led to frustration and hostility over logistic regression necessity, highlighting misunderstandings in statistical modeling.
Limitations of Linear Models for Binary
- Linear models fail for binary outcomes because predicted probabilities can fall outside 0 and 1 boundaries.
- Residuals violate assumptions, making logistic regression more suitable for binary data modeling.
