A Textbook
This book covers two major aspects of the use of data science in discrimination contexts:
-
Part I: Assessing possible discrimination in observational contexts.
-
Part II: Ameliorating discrimination in machine learning applications.
The book makes extensive use of the dsld R package, and is best read with access to that software. However, its conceptual content is quite accessible independently of that package.
The PDF of the book is here.
