Primes

• Partition Dependence of Aggregates
  • … bin widths or kernel bandwidths. The pattern recurs in network science (modular structure is partition-dependent: modularity optimisation can fail to identify modules below a certain scale), in causal inference (Simpson's paradox as the sign-reversal symptom of collapsing or un-collapsing a covariate),

Mechanisms

• Cohort Transition Table
  • It is also vulnerable to Simpson's paradox

    This sourceDefines Simpson's paradox as a reversal between disaggregated group trends and the combined aggregate trend.
