Modelling as a Child vs Adult

Text on the meme

The modelling you know as a child The modelling you know as an adult Random Intercepts Yᵢ = αᵢ + β₁Xᵢ Dependent Variable Predictor Variable x A Random Intercepts and Slopes Yᵢ = αᵢ + βᵢXᵢ Dependent Variable Predictor Variable x B

What it means

The top panel shows glamorous fashion models walking on a runway, representing the simple, polished modelling people imagine as children. The bottom panel shows dense statistical regression plots with random intercepts and slopes, representing the complicated modelling adults encounter. The joke contrasts childhood ideas of modelling with adult mathematical statistics.
