The probability of Simpson conversion in four-dimensional binary tables
The probability of Simpson conversion in four-dimensional binary tables
Let be entries of a table sampled uniformly from the probability simplex, with and . Consider the two subtables obtained by fixing and , and their sum over . A Simpson conversion occurs when the two subtables induce the same triangulation of the cube, while their sum induces a different triangulation. The probability conjecture. The probability that a Simpson conversion occurs in this context is . This is based on computational sampling and is presented as a conjecture about the frequency of Simpson conversions in contingency tables; the corresponding two-dimensional probability is known to be .
