- yummyfajitas 10y agoIf you read ProPublica's R script rather than their anecdote-filled news article, you discover the algorithm is accurate (p < 0.001) and unbiased (bias tests had p > 0.05). https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/propublica_is_lying.html https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/propublica_is_lying.... Unfortunately an honest title/article "sentencing algorithm is accurate and eliminates racism" wouldn't be viable clickbait, so they decided to ignore their own conclusions.
