Teaching Simpson’s Paradox, Confounding, and Causal Inference

Created 06 Sep 2022| Updated 06 Dec 2023 | 30 articles

Multivariate thinking is important in statistics and data science education. Simpson’s Paradox, confounding, and causal inference are key topics that build on students’ prior statistical understanding. This collection highlights papers that have been published recently and in past decades which lays out approaches to help prepare students to make sense of the multivariate data around them. (Illustrative figure from “Might Temporal Logic Improve the Specification of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs)?” by Ellison (JSDSE, 2021).)
