Not talking about violations of the known assumptions of a method. I have reasonable confidence on those. Plus I can always blaame spunky for them.
I normally run linear and logistic regression (and am starting to do time series regression) although I know other methods. One thing that always worries me is I run across articles that says you should not use this method in this situation or should use this approach to fix a problem (which often can not be done with the software I have). I am sure there are many errors I have not heard off (OS in particular gets slammed all the time).
So I have begun to worry about even running these methods (well any statistical method)
since I could have missed something in the literature or not be able to do the correction suggested (it makes it worse that experts disagree on the right way for me a non-expert).
I was curious on other analyst views on this.
