Resolution of Simpson\u27s paradox via the common cause principle
No full textSimpson\u27s paradox is an obstacle to establishing a probabilistic association between two events and , given the third (lurking) random variable . We focus on scenarios when the random variables (which combines , , and their complements) and have a common cause that need not be observed. Alternatively, we can assume that screens out from . For such cases, the correct association between and is to be defined via conditioning over . This setup generalizes the original Simpson\u27s paradox: now its two contradicting options refer to two particular and different causes . We show that if and are binary and is quaternary (the minimal and the most widespread situation for the Simpson\u27s paradox), the conditioning over any binary common cause establishes the same direction of association between and as the conditioning over in the original formulation of the paradox. Thus, for the minimal common cause, one should choose the option of Simpson\u27s paradox that assumes conditioning over and not its marginalization. The same conclusion is reached when Simpson\u27s paradox is formulated via 3 continuous Gaussian variables: within the minimal formulation of the paradox (3 scalar continuous variables , , and ), one should choose the option with the conditioning over .Added new results, enhanced reference

No full textThis item is from the Manly Family papers. The collection includes the papers of Basil Manly, president of the University of Alabama, 1837-1855, and a founder of Furman University, which reflect the history of the period as well as his life as theologian and educator. It also contains materials created and gathered by other Manly family members, including his sons Basil and Charles, president of Furman University, 1881-1897

Internal tidal mixing as a control on continental margin ecosystems
No full textWe show that a breaking internal tide at a shelf edge is a fundamental control on the structural and functional properties of ecosystems. Contrasts in vertical mixing of nitrate between the shelf and the open ocean correspond with horizontal and vertical changes in phytoplankton communities, with largest cells found in surface waters at the shelf edge. Intense fishing activity is commonly seen at continental shelf edges, targeting spawning fish stocks. We suggest that the internal tide, a globally ubiquitous physical process at steep shelf edge bathymetry, supports shelf edge fisheries by providing large-celled phytoplankton for first-feeding fish larvae. The repeatability of the internal tide removes fish from the need to time spawning with a spring bloom. Also, with large phytoplankton cells dominating particulate organic carbon export, the internal tides could be an important influence on spatial and temporal variability in patterns of global carbon sequestration in deep water and sediments.
