While Victor Kuperman and I are preparing our slides for WOMM, I’ve been thinking about how to visualize the process from input variables to a full model. Even though it involves many steps that hugely depend on the type of regression model, which in turn depends on the type of outcome (dependent) variable, there are a number of steps that one always needs to go through if we want interpretable coefficient estimates (as well as unbiased standard error estimates for those coefficients).
