Researchers have turned from bias theory to risk theory, arguing that disparity disappears when considering only the subgroup of children in poverty. In this study, we consider whether this phenomenon is an example of Simpson's Paradox, where aggregate findings are confounded by a third factor. ...
In this note we explain the paradox and describe a method which will avoid it in the future. (15pp.)doi:10.1002/j.2330-8516.1985.tb00121.xHoward WainerEts Research ReportWainer, H. Minority Contributions to the SAT Score Turnaround: An Example of Simpson's Paradox . Princeton, N.J. :...

When the data set is partitioned into 2 occupant age groups, it is seen that both of the age groups have higher fatality rates in smaller cars. This is discussed as an example of a paradox presented by Simpson in his 1951 paper.
While the rotational temperatures derived at El Leoncito from the OH(62) airglow band appear rather homogeneous at first sight, the O2 temperatures measured with the same instrument and optical filter exhibit features strongly reminiscent of Simpson's classical statistical paradox, in that ...
Understanding Simpson’s paradox is easiest in thecontextof a simple example. Suppose that a university is concerned about sex bias during the admission process to graduate school. To study this, applicants to the university’s graduate programs are classified based on sex and admissions outcome. ...
