Association and Simpson conversion in $2 \times 2 \times 2$ contingency tables

Svante Linusson and Matthew T. Stamps

Vol. 12 (2021), No. 1, 57–74
Abstract

We study a generalisation of Simpson reversal (also known as Simpson’s paradox or the Yule–Simpson effect) to 2 × 2 × 2 contingency tables and characterise the cases for which it can and cannot occur with two combinatorial-geometric lemmas. We also present a conjecture based on some computational experiments on the expected likelihood of such events.
