Metrics formula
Equal Opportunity Difference=
TPR(group 1) −TPR(group 2)
where
TPR (True Positive Rate) = True Positives/(True Positives + False Positives)
group 1 and 2 indicate different demographic groups
Describe the metrics use cases, and any relevant references.
EOD is used to assess if an ML model’s performance is consistent across different demographic groups (male vs female, low vs high income level, race etc) and ensuring that the model offers equal access to positive outcomes.
