Reasonable uncertainty: Confidence intervals in empirical Bayes discrimination detection
合理量化不确定性:经验贝叶斯歧视检测中的置信区间
We revisit empirical Bayes discrimination detection, focusing on uncertainty arising from both partial identification and sampling variability. While prior work has mostly focused on partial identification, we find that some empirical findings are not robust to sampling uncertainty. To better connect statistical evidence to the magnitude of real-world discriminatory behavior, we propose a counterfactual odds-ratio estimand with a attractive properties and interpretation. Our…
