New penalized fair regression framework tackles bias in chronic kidney disease prediction

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new penalized fair regression framework designed to address bias in healthcare predictions, particularly for chronic kidney disease. This method extends existing fair regression techniques to handle multiple groups experiencing bias simultaneously. The approach is demonstrated for binary outcomes and can be implemented efficiently by reducing it to a cost-sensitive classification problem, with novel score functions for automatic penalty weight selection. Applied to a national study on chronic kidney disease, the methods showed significant improvements in fairness for multiple race and ethnicity groups without compromising overall fit. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to fairer AI models in healthcare, reducing disparities in patient outcomes.

    Penalized Fair Regression for Multiple Groups in Chronic Kidney Disease

    arXiv:2512.17340v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fair regression methods have the potential to mitigate societal bias concerns in health care, but there has been little work on penalized fair regression when multiple groups experience such bias. We propose a general regr…
