In the following animation, we can see how the linear relationship between two variables is inversed, if we take into account a third categorical variable. Simpson's paradox highlights the fact that analysts should be diligent to avoid mistakes.

Always love how simply that gif explains what would otherwise be a difficult concept to grasp in introductory statistics

Can anyone give an example, please?

There's no paradox. This is just the fact that fixed effects should be taken into account in panel data.

This is also called a โ€œsuppression effectโ€ in regression and causal modeling . Here is an article on this topic in the field of epidemiology: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32190094/

Great visualization Giannis!

Attendees of my recent Loss Reserving with R workshop will recognize this visual and Simpson's paradox. Actuaries in reserving: were you aware that most of the data you work with has this property?
