Abstract

Simpson’s paradox refers to the reversal of a statistical relationship between two variables in sub-populations when the sub-populations are combined and analyzed as a population. This article is intended to provide a broad survey of the past, present and future research surrounding the issue. Real data from a discrimination litigation case is examined to identify the occurrence of the paradox.
