New method detects subtle inequalities in distributions, improving fairness assessment.
The researchers developed a method to better compare two distributions when one doesn't dominate the other. By adjusting the distributions, they used a mathematical distance measure to see how close they are to being in order. They created a new way to measure the disagreement between the distributions, which can help determine if one is almost always better than the other. Their tests showed that this method works well, especially with normal distributions.
