It's Just A Ride - Bill Hicks

The Ptolemaic Universe, in which complex motion of the planets in the night sky was explained by orbits within orbits, called epicycles. The model is incredibly wrong, yet makes quite good predictions.

Selecting an appropriate statistical procedure

 

Hypotheses are not models

 

Relations among hypotheses (left), detailed process models (middle), and statistical models (right), illustrated by the example of “neutral” models of evolution. Hypotheses (H) are typically vague, and so correspond to more than one process model (P). Statistical evaluations of hypotheses rarely address process models directly. Instead, they rely upon statistical models (M), all of which reflect only some aspects of the process models. As a result, relations are multiple in both directions: Hypotheses do not imply unique models, and models do not imply unique hypotheses. This fact greatly complicates statistical inference.
