چکیده
Given two sets of data which lead to a similar statistical conclusion, the Simpson Paradox [10] describes the tactic of combining these two sets and achieving the opposite conclusion. Depending upon the given data, this may or may not succeed. Inverse Simpson is a method of decomposing a given set of comparison data into two disjoint sets and achieving the opposite conclusion for each one. This is always possible; however, the statistical significance of the conclusions does depend upon the details of the given data.
