A Non-Solution: Model Checking
Model
checking is apparently used by many to allow them to believe that
their models are correct.
•From a recent
referee’s report:
–“I know of no sensible
statistician (frequentist or Bayesian) who does not do model

•Apparently the referee
believes the following unproven proposition:
–If we cannot tell the
model is wrong, then statistical inference under the model will
be correct
