Description
<p dir="ltr"><b>This item contains the source code, the simulated-data generator, the raw per-seed results, and the regenerated statistical tables underlying the article "Translating Günther Anders’ Critical Theory into Algorithmic Fairness: A Simulation-Based Proof of Concept for Fairness-Enhanced Decision Support with Simulated Human Review" (Tian W, Wang Y; submitted to PLOS One). It is a snapshot of the GitHub repository github.com/YingWang08/anders-fairness-hitl, the version cited in the article.</b></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr"><b>About the study</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>The study is a simulation-based proof of concept.
All "human" decisions are generated by fixed rule-based proxies; no human participants were involved. A fairness-enhanced, HITL-inspired post-processing framework (FE-HITL) is evaluated on a simulated agricultural resource-allocation task (30 independently generated datasets of 10,000 farmers) and on the UCI German Credit benchmark (50 resampled splits and 5-fold cross-validation).</b></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr"><b>Contents</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>- experiments/run_sensitivity_standalone.py: the eight agricultural analysis suites.
