Examples of Simpson's paradox in the following topics:
-
- In this particular case, we can see an occurrence of Simpson's Paradox .
- Simpson's Paradox is a paradox in which a trend that appears in different groups of data disappears when these groups are combined, and the reverse trend appears for the aggregate data.
- The practical significance of Simpson's paradox surfaces in decision making situations where it poses the following dilemma: Which data should we consult in choosing an action, the aggregated or the partitioned?
- An illustration of Simpson's Paradox.
- Illustrate how the phenomenon of confounding can be seen in practice via Simpson's Paradox.
-
- A striking ecological fallacy is Simpson's paradox, diagramed in .
- Simpson's paradox refers to the fact, when comparing two populations divided in groups of different sizes, the average of some variable in the first population can be higher in every group and yet lower in the total population.
- Simpson's paradox for continuous data: a positive trend appears for two separate groups (blue and red), a negative trend (black, dashed) appears when the data are combined.
-
- Another one of his problems has come to be called "De Méré's Paradox," and it is explained below.
- This is a veridical paradox.
-
- This apparent paradox is resolved given that the probability that $X$ attains some value within an infinite set, such as an interval, cannot be found by naively adding the probabilities for individual values.
-
- Yet (paradoxically) the very idea of probability has been plagued by controversy from the beginning of the subject to the present day.
-
- In statistics, regression toward (or to) the mean is the phenomenon that if a variable is extreme on its first measurement, it will tend to be closer to the average on its second measurement—and, paradoxically, if it is extreme on its second measurement, it will tend to be closer to the average on its first.
-
- It is not unusual to obtain results that on the surface appear paradoxical.
