Abstract

It is possible for a pair of dichotomous, categorical variables to have an overall positive association (say) in a stratified population, and at the same time be negatively associated in every stratum. This (essentially) is Simpson's paradox. A graphical device, the risk diagram, provides insight into Simpson's paradox and related concepts.
