Quantitative assessment of discrimination based on the binomial distribution
Project description
BinomialBias
This library computes and plots quantitative assessments of discrimination within organizations, based on the binomial distribution.
This code supports the following paper:
Quantitative measures of discrimination with application to appointment processes. Robinson PA, Kerr CC (2024). PLoS ONE 19(3): e0299870. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0299870
There are several ways to use this library, described below.
Webapp
A live webapp is running at https://binomialbias.sciris.org.
Local installation and usage
Python
To use locally with Python, run
pip install binomialbias
This can then be run via e.g.:
import binomialbias as bb
bb.plot_bias(n=20, n_e=10, n_a=7)
This example shows the statistics for the case where there were n = 20
appointments (e.g., the size of a committee), out of which n_e = 10
people were expected to belong to a given group (e.g., female), and for which n_a = 7
actually were.
Shiny
To run the Shiny app locally, clone the repository from GitHub, then install with
pip install -e .[app]
The Shiny app can then be run locally via the run
script.
Structure
- All code for the Python package is in the
binomialbias
folder. - The script for generating the figure in the paper is in the
scripts
folder. - Continuous integration tests are in the
tests
folder. - Older Jupyter and Matplotlib versions are available in the
archive
folder.
