The limits of Friedman's understanding should come as a surprise to no man.
- gwern 13y agoI dislike Friedman a fair bit, but I can't hold this one against him: restriction of range is a subtlety that pretty much no one understands in interpreting correlations, and I only know about it myself because I happened to read a paper torpedoing a previous famous paper as having fallen prey to restriction of range (and then did some more reading on range restriction).
