In mlr3fairness: Fairness Auditing and Debiasing for 'mlr3'

Classification Fair Logistic Regression With Covariance Constraints Learner

Description

Calls fairml::zlrm from package fairml.

Details

Generalized fair regression model from Zafar et al., 2019 implemented via package fairml. The 'unfairness' parameter is set to 0.05 as a default. The optimized fairness metric is statistical parity.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("classif.fairzlrm")
lrn("classif.fairzlrm")
