To estimate the health risks of obesity we might compare howlong obese and nonobese people live. Smoking is a lurking variablethat may reduce the gap between the two groups because smokingtends to both reduce weight and lead to earlier death. So if weignore smoking we may underestimate the health risks of obesity.Illustrate Simpsons paradox by a simplified version of thissituation: make up twoway tables of obese (Yes or No) by earlydeath (Yes or No) separately for smokers and nonsmokers such that1) Obese smokers and obese nonsmokers are both more likely to dieearlier than those who are not obese. 2) But when smokers andnonsmokers are combined into a twoway table of obese by earlydeath persons who are not obese are more likely to die earlierbecause more of them are smokers.
