Exploratory Data Analysis for Bias Identification

Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is a foundational method for detecting bias, allowing data scientists to visually and quantitatively examine the data for potential biases. EDA can be highly effective in identifying obvious disparities and distributions that suggest bias. However, its effectiveness heavily relies on the expertise of the analyst conducting the EDA. Subtle or complex biases may go undetected without deep domain knowledge or a thorough understanding of the multifaceted nature of bias.
