Confidence Intervals for Testing Disparate Impact in Fair Learning

17 Jul 2018  ·  Philippe Besse, Eustasio del Barrio, Paula Gordaliza, Jean-Michel Loubes ·

We provide the asymptotic distribution of the major indexes used in the statistical literature to quantify disparate treatment in machine learning. We aim at promoting the use of confidence intervals when testing the so-called group disparate impact. We illustrate on some examples the importance of using confidence intervals and not a single value.
