dsld: Data Science Looks at Discrimination

Statistical and graphical tools for exploring group differences and possible discrimination related to sensitive attributes such as race, gender, and age. Includes adjusted group comparisons, matching, distribution plots, and prediction methods that constrain sensitive-attribute influence or deweight selected predictors. Cross-validation supports comparison of prediction error and sensitive-attribute associations. Methods and teaching examples are described by Mittal et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2411.04228>. Interfaces to the R implementation are also available for 'Python'.
