The study investigates fairness in regression-based predictive models for kidney transplantation, introducing three group fairness notions and identifying social preferences for fairness criteria, revealing biases against age groups but fairness towards gender and race groups.
Methods: Three novel fairness notions (independence, separation, sufficiency) were introduced alongside crowd feedback analysis through a Mixed-Logit discrete choice model.
Key Findings: Fairness in regression-based predictive analytics regarding group fairness criteria across social dimensions such as age, gender, and race.
Limitations: Limited applicability due to specific study focus on kidney transplantation predictions; potential bias in crowd feedback sourced from Prolific platform.
