Extract

Note 74.11 from Nick Lord in the March 1990 Gazette looks at the fascinating Simpson's paradox starting from a complex number situation; and in the same issue John Haigh, reviewing Cox and Snell's Analysis of Binary Data, gives a (fictitious) example; but the fascination of the paradox stems from the real occurrences.
