Ian Hunt's Contribution to the Discussion of ‘Assumption-Lean Inference for Generalised Linear Model Parameters’ by Vansteelandt and Dukes
本文对传统统计建模进行了通用且原则性的补充，是应用方法论的实际进步，但批评了文中关于统计学家使用不诚实假设等不必要或误导性的说法。
This paper offers a generic and principled addition to conventional statistical modelling. It is a real advance in applicable methodology. But there is no need in the paper for the following claims: that statisticians routinely use 'dishonest' modelling assumptions, that statisticians should aim for 'purely evidence-based' inferences and that modelling assumptions are 'almost always a pure mathematical convenience'. These sorts of claims are redundant or misleading for three reasons.
