Integrating Bayesian networks and Simpson's paradox in data mining (2007)
Book Chapter
Freitas, A., McGarry, K., & Correa, E. (2007). Integrating Bayesian networks and Simpson's paradox in data mining. In F. Russo, & J. Williamson (Eds.), Causality and Probability in the Sciences (43-62). United Kingdom: College Publications

This paper proposes to integrate two very different kinds of methods for data mining, namely the construction of Bayesian networks from data and the detection of occurrences of Simpson’s paradox. The former aims at discovering potentially causal know... Read More about Integrating Bayesian networks and Simpson's paradox in data mining.
