MILAN ZELENY* ON THE INADEQUACY OF THE REGRESSION PARADIGM USED IN THE STUDY OF HUMAN JUDGMENT Ans~a~cr. Although traditional instruments of research into human judgmentcorrelational statistics, the lens model, the ANOVA approach, etc. -are analytical, logical, and explicit tools of study, they might be inadequate, irrational and incorrect in their ultimate impact. In this short note a few examples are introduced to show that linear (in parameters) regression models could represent only a quasi-rational paradigm at best. Simple graphical diagrams are used to clarify three main ditilculties with the linear model.
