You've Got Your Models

Lyric copyright by Dennis Pearl
may sing to tune of "You've Got Your Troubles" (The Fortunes)

I see that worried look upon your face,
You've got your models, I got mine.
She's found another theory to take your place;
You've got your models, I got mine.

I too have lost my fit today,
All my outliers are too far away.

Now just like you, I sit and wonder why;
You've got your models, I got mine.
You need some assumptions, well so do I,
You've got your models, I got mine.

It used to fit the data, that I know,
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were talking, about adding blocking
The way that models do.

I too have lost my fit today,
All my outliers are too far away.

And so forgive me if I seem unkind,
You've got your models, I got mine.

(Counter: And it must seem to you, my friend
That I ain't got no pity for you,
Well, that ain't true,
You see I love that linear model, linear model, linear model.)

It might help predict another time,
You've got your models, I got mine.
You've got your models, I got mine.
You've got your models, I got mine.
