New audit method reveals prediction model miscalibrations and demographic disparities

A new auditing method has been developed to identify where prediction models are miscalibrated and for whom, particularly concerning demographic disparities. This approach uses random forests to group similar observations into "pockets" and then assesses prediction accuracy within these pockets. The method has shown improved accuracy in locating errors compared to existing alternatives in simulation scenarios and has been applied to real-world datasets, revealing nuanced miscalibrations in care-management algorithms and ICU mortality prediction models.
