Is it just me or those scatter plots feel silly to fit with a straight line?

Is it just me or those scatter plots feel silly to fit with a straight line?
- iammrpayments 1y agoYes, but I never finished my “Intro to statistics” book, so I can’t confirm
- ekianjo 1y agoNot uncommon. Most of "science" is bad regression models applied on cloud of points. And then they think it means something.
- nessbot 1y agoSounds like the thought process behind this comment.
- Supermancho 1y agoDon't talk about yourself that way.
- reassess_blind 1y agoDid you just put science in quotes.
- Supermancho 1y agoSome studies are useful science. Some are bunk. Some we don't know until long after when they are replicated or are never spoken about again because they have no signal or utility. It's under the practice of science, to some degree.
- ekianjo 1y agoYou most published papers can't be reproduced? So in effect most of it is pure junk passing for science
