mlr_learners_regr.fairnclm: Regression Non-convex Fair Regression Learner

In mlr3fairness: Fairness Auditing and Debiasing for 'mlr3'

Regression Non-convex Fair Regression Learner

Description

Calls fairml::nclm from package fairml.

Details

Fair regression model based on nonconvex optimization from Komiyama et al. (2018). Implemented via package fairml. The 'unfairness' parameter is set to 0.05 as a default.

Dictionary

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