            Proxy Variable Alert

            Indicates that one or more variables are highly correlated to a sensitive variable, which means that the variable serves as a proxy variable in your analysis, which can signal bias. For example, a loan applicant's street address can serve as a proxy for ethnicity. Bias can be reflected in adverse approval rates if an institution's lending practices are discriminatory.

            Note
            Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.
            Note
            Note Proxy variables are detected only for variables marked as sensitive. The alert appears as a subtab on an insight card associated with the sensitive variable.

            Actions to Consider

            Investigate the variable further to determine whether it's serving as a proxy variable in your analysis. Consider deleting any biased variables from your model to remove their influence and produce more ethical and accountable insights. To learn more, see Detect and Remove Bias from a Model.

            Detection Methodology

            Einstein Discovery raises this data alert when an explanatory variable is more than 50% correlated with a sensitive variable.
