-What the example above shows is that, whether we remove the intercept or not, we are essentially fitting the same model, but using a different [[wp>Parametrization_(geometry)|parameterization]]. The Wikipedia page linked to here discusses the idea of parameterization in the context of geometry, but this is directly relevant, since fundamentally the process of fitting (meta)-regression models can also be conceptualized geometrically (involving projections and vector spaces). An excellent (but quite technical) reference for this perspective is Christensen (2011).+What the example above shows is that, whether we remove the intercept or not, we are essentially fitting the same model, but using a different [[wp>Parametrization_(geometry)|parameterization]].
