Where are your national football team players based?

A couple of facts that you might find interesting:

- Russia, England, and Italy stand out for their teams composed of players based in the same country

- 67% of players based in Russia and participating to the FIFA World Cup play for Russia, and in contrast, 18% of England- and France- based players do.

- Ghana, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast explain ca. 40% of the internationalization of France-based players

cbellet··on Simpson's Paradox is Back
I don't understand how Simpson's paradox is different from missing an explanatory variable and confusing correlation vs. partial correlation.

In Wikipedia's article header chart, what I see is the projection on a plane of a 3D problem, where the 3rd dimension has been overlooked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox

In Bob vs. Alice, I see also that the night/day flight dummy wasn't accounted for hence resulting in the so-called paradox.
