Linear models are widely used in high-stakes decision-making due to their simplicity and interpretability. Yet when fairness constraints such as demographic parity are introduced, their effects on model coefficients, and thus on how predictive bias is distributed across features, remain opaque. Exis
Linear models are widely used in high-stakes decision-making due to their interpretability, but fairness constraints like Demographic Parity (DP) create opaque effects on model coefficients and predictive bias distribution. We propose a post-processing framework that can be applied on top of any lin
In the standard use case of Algorithmic Fairness, the goal is to eliminate the relationship between a sensitive variable and a corresponding score. Throughout recent years, the scientific community has developed a host of definitions and tools to solve this task, which work well in many practical ap…
