- CrazyStat 5y agoWhy should I care about the assumptions of a model if that's not the model that is implemented, because the code contains errors? Obviously the assumptions of the model are important. But I was responding to a claim that the quality of the code is not important, which is also obviously false. Neither discussion alone is sufficient.
