Relevant xkcd "Linear Regression": https://xkcd.com/1725/ https://xkcd.com/1725/

  From one of the authors: "It's not a linear regression. This representation is a typical mistake when using mixed effect statistics. It is a "dyadic regression" which is a complex mixed effects procedure. We avoid such representation for ME but reviewers ask." (https://twitter.com/ulugeyik/status/1623654892639330304 https://twitter.com/ulugeyik/status/1623654892639330304) So there's more to the story but that graph is really easy to make fun of because it looks like a linear regression.

    Interesting. That's not from the authors though: https://twitter.com/ulugeyik/status/1623749246322089984 https://twitter.com/ulugeyik/status/1623749246322089984

      Oh ok, just seemed like it from the way he talked but yeah, it is dyadic regression so there's more the story (no idea what it is) but it's still such a terrible graph that I would never want to put in a paper.
