Simpson's paradox  

Definición

  • Simpson's paradox is an extreme form of confounding, where the association between two variables in a full group is in the opposite direction of the association found within every subcategory of a third variable. This paradox was first described by G. U. Yule in 1903 and later developed and popularized by E. H. Simpson in 1951. [Source: Encyclopedia of Epidemiology; Simpson's Paradox]
