A Very Simple Bias Algorithm Using Real Data
While researching on biased algorithm's examples I was not able to find simple ones that would not require comprehensive in-deep knowledge of other topics like coding or statistics, so I thought it would be fun to make and analyze a very simple algorithm for bias. The goal is to understand how bias works in an algorithm. I've picked the cities of Lewiston (ID) and Clarkston (WA) for this example. These two cities share the Lewis-Clark valley at the confluence of the Snake and the Clearwater rivers. Now, let's assume we work for a real state investment firm looking into building new housing developments. Let's assume another algorithm had already segmented the real state market in the LC valley in four sections based on population and other parameters: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green. Let's assume we are tasked with creating an algorithm that would decide where next the company should invest. The four parameters we are going to use for our very simple...
