Reproduction Materials for "The Measure and Mismeasure of Fairness"

To reproduce the analyses in our paper:

1. Make sure you have R version 4.3.1 and the groundhog package installed.
2. Create and activate a python3 virtual environment in the root of the repository as follows:

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Ensure you have make installed and run the following command from the root directory:

make plots

This will perform all of the analyses in the paper and regenerate the plots in the figures directory. The analysis takes around 3 hours on a single M1 core, ~80% of which is generating the counterfactual predictive parity geometry of fairness plot.
