The importance of visualizing data. Part 3.

Simpson's paradox is a phenomenon in statistics in which a trend appears in several groups of data but disappears or reverses when the groups are combined.

The example is available in @LabPlot via File > Open Example.

Have you heard of Simpson's Paradox?

It occurs when the relationship between variables is vastly different when the population is divided into subgroups.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%

This happens in various contexts and, in replying to an e-mail yesterday, I realized that it also applies to data that are analyzed spatially or temporally or when those two are pooled. Kinda cool if you're into that sort of thing. 😉
