A Fully Bayesian, Logistic Regression Tracking Algorithm for Mitigating Disparate Misclassification

We develop a fully Bayesian, logistic tracking algorithm with the purpose of providing classification results that are unbiased when applied uniformly to individuals with differing sensitive variable values. Here, we consider bias in the form of differences in false prediction rates between the different sensitive variable groups. Given that the method is fully Bayesian, it is well suited for situations where group parameters or logistic regression coefficients are dynamic quantities. We illustrate our method, in comparison to others, on both simulated datasets and the well-known ProPublica COMPAS dataset.
