This is a reproducible code repository supporting the manuscript. By running the R scripts in this repository, all the figures and tables can be reproduced. This repository follows a CC-BY 4.0 license.
The dataset data/data_new.csv was obtained directly without making changes from the dissecting bias repository on GitLab and is subject to their license terms.
Ensure you have R and RStudio installed and run the following lines to install the dependencies

The structure of the folder follows loosely the structure of the Experiments section in the manuscript. Clone this repository, open the fair_measurement.Rproj file and run the following files in order:
| Section | Main R file | Main output |
|---|---|---|
| Data preparation and feature selection | 01_feature_selection.R |
output/01_feature_selection.png |
| Fair inference on cost as a proxy of health | 02_parity_correction.R |
output/02_parity_correction.pdf |
| Fair inference on latent health | 03_measurement_model.R |
output/03_measurement_model.pdf |
| Investigating unfairness in proxies | 04_differential_item_functioning.R |
Table 1 (in console) |
These main R files depend on the remaining R files and output files in this repository. The main figures will appear in the output/ folder.
