Here I list a few formatting differences between the GitHub markdown version of my July 8, 2019, arXiv paper in this repository and the PDF version in the arXiv website. The (default) formatting for the markdown file on GitHub is a bit different. In particular:
- The text is not justified
- The Tables and Figures are not centered
- The Tables have striped row shading
In the GitHub version I also made two sets of edits regarding the display of web links to references.
- In the References section, when available, I added web links to the reference materials, to make internet navigation easier for the reader.
- I edited footnote 45 slightly; I no longer display the lengthy website URL for ProPublica’s GitHub repository, but do keep an active link to it.
In the GitHub version I also corrected two minor typos:
- In the caption for Figure 3 I corrected a typo (before I said Recividism instead of Recidivism).
- At the end of section 5, when discussing the Confusion Matrix results by race, I corrected a typo regarding one mention of the false positive rate, where I had written ‘(FPV)’ instead of ‘(FPR)’.
