Simpson's Paradox describes how results observed in aggregated data change (sometimes drastically) when the same data is disaggregated, which leads to a whole host of traps to step in or opportunities for arbitrage. Listen in as Josh, Dave, and James discuss the implications of the paradox in the world of data science and make sure to check out Josh's Substack article on the topic.

This week, Josh sits down for a conversation with Victoria Thain Gioia of Perelel Health, an online women's health and vitamin service. Together, they explore the road that led Victoria to start a business at the beginning of a global pandemic, the lessons learned during a long career in finance at various start-ups, and the benefits of being data-driven in practice and not just in name.
