Simpson's Paradox: An Anatomy
This report discusses the reversal e ect known as Simpson's paradox from a causaltheoretic viewpoint. It analyzes the reasons why the e ect has been (and still is) considered paradoxical and why its resolution has been so late in coming. The report is extracted from a forthcoming book Causality [Pearl, 2000], and assumes some familiarity with causal diagrams and the do( ) (or set( )) notation (...
متن کاملBridging an apparent paradox
Despite increased applications and scholarship, appreciative inquiry remains a research method with little self-reflection or critique to evaluate the process as an action research method. Perhaps counter-intuitively, we propose that critical theory provides one useful lens through which to develop an appreciative evaluation of the process. We begin this article with a brief introduction to app...
متن کاملProstacyclin: An Inflammatory Paradox
Prostacyclin (PGI(2)) is a member of the prostaglandin family of bioactive lipids. Its best-characterized role is in the cardiovascular system, where it is released by vascular endothelial cells, serving as a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. In recent years, prostacyclin (PGI(2)) has also been shown to promote differentiation and inhibit proliferation in vascular smooth...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization
We present simultaneous pseudo-timestepping as an efficient method for aerodynamic shape optimization. In this method, instead of solving the necessary optimality conditions by iterative techniques, pseudo-time embedded nonstationary system is integrated in time until a steady state is reached. The main advantages of this method are that it requires no additional globalization techniques and th...
متن کاملConstructing an aerodynamic explanation for the forces
generated during the flapping flight of insects is an important challenge in the study of both animal locomotion and fluid mechanics. Two complimentary experimental approaches have been used to study animal aerodynamics; one that focuses directly on the forces generated by flapping wings and another that attempts to reconstruct these forces by careful analysis of the resulting wake (Brodsky, 19...
