Simpson's Paradox, Lord's Paradox, and Suppression Effects are the same phenomenon – the reversal paradox
This article discusses three statistical paradoxes that pervade epidemiological research: Simpson's paradox, Lord's paradox, and suppression. These paradoxes have important implications for the interpretation of evidence from observational studies. This article uses hypothetical scenarios to illustrate how the three paradoxes are different manifestations of one phenomenon--the reversal paradox-...
متن کاملParadox and Relativism
Since the time of Plato, relativism has been attacked as a self-refuting theory. Today, there are two basic kinds of argument that are used to show that global relativism is logically incoherent: first, a direct descendent of the argument Plato uses against Protagoras, called the peritrope; and, second, a more recent argument that relativism leads to an infinite regress. Although some relativis...
متن کاملA Regression Paradox for Linear Models: Sufficient Conditions and Relation to Simpsons Paradox
An analysis of customer survey data using direct and reverse linear regression leads to inconsistent conclusions with respect to the effect of a group variable. This counterintuitive phenomenon, called the “regression paradox,” causes seemingly contradictory group effects when the predictor and regressand are interchanged. Using analytical developments as well as geometric arguments, we describ...
متن کاملCondorcet's Principle and the Preference Reversal Paradox
We prove that every Condorcet-consistent voting rule can be manipulated by a voter who completely reverses their preference ranking, assuming that there are at least 4 alternatives. This corrects an error and improves a result of [Sanver, M. R., & Zwicker, W. S. (2009). One-way monotonicity as a form of strategy-proofness. Int J Game Theory 38(4), 553-574.] For the case of precisely 4 alternati...
متن کاملThe Pandemic Paradox: Concurrence of Covid-19 and Metabolic Syndrome
The health-care system should be ready to deal with a large number of COVID-19 patients who may require critical care. Patients with severe consequences should have well-rehearsed and structured protocols for quick identification, isolation, triage, and care plans. The higher incidence of metabolic syndrome combined with COVID-19 shows that concurrence of these two disorders, as well as the the...
