Apart from neural networks most models are somewhat transparent in terms of reasoning. Neural networks would be the wrong model to use for this anyway.
For instance, decision trees can tell us if the population density between this range and the percentage of single family residence is between this range, the probability of a package being stolen is X.
Or regression could tell us that the square of the population density is positively correlated to this crime .
- Closi 5y agoThis law isn’t talking about banning decision trees or banning regression analysis though, it’s talking about ML being used in specific listed applications.
- brightly-salty 5y agoExactly. We don’t disagree, I don’t think. Decision trees and regression analysis should count as statistics for the purpose of this issue, as they are transparent and accountable. Neural networks are another beast entirely, in my opinion.
