Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 MW2REDFAIR(D, g, E, M, d)", "Algorithm 2 Two-stage localized fair classification via reductions
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain an explicit statement or link indicating that the source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets Yes Our case study is on a dataset of judicial decisions on supervised release based on risk-score-informed recommendations [38].", "The Oregon Health Insurance Study [16] is an important study on the causal effect of expanding public health insurance on healthcare utilization, outcomes, and other outcomes.
Dataset Splits Yes Algorithm 2 Two-stage localized fair classification via reductions 1: Randomly split the data into D1, D2", "We split the data, learn nuisance estimators η1 for use in our policy value and constraint estimates, and run Algorithm 1 (MW2REDFAIR(D1, h, E, M, d; η1)) to obtain an estimate of the optimal policy ˆπ1, and the constraint variances at ˆπ1.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions the use of 'logistic regression' and 'gradient-boosted regression' but does not specify any software or library names with version numbers that would be required for reproducibility.
Experiment Setup No The paper mentions the types of models used (logistic regression, gradient-boosted regression) and arbitrarily set cost values for the objective function but does not provide specific training hyperparameters such as learning rates, batch sizes, or optimizer settings for these models.
