A Note on “The logic of Simpson’s paradox”

In the Synthese article “The logic of Simpson’s paradox ”, P. S. Bandyoapdhyay and co-authors claim to have given “the proper analysis of the paradox ” and that they have rejected “an objection to [theirs] account [which compares theirs] with Blyth’s account of the paradox ”. We find their analysis incomplete and unnecessarily complicated, and their comparison with Blyth’s analysis not justified. We offer a complete and simple analysis of the paradox and a justified comparison of theirs and Blyth’s analysis.
