Hey ktkachuk,
as I understand the code, they compute the mean of the attribute-wise accuracies(without the mean), meaning they take the size of the respective groups into account. The mean attribute-wise accuracy is computed afterwards starting from line 278 - 300.

Hey Moritz,
thank you for your reply. The problem is that the attribute-wise accuracies do not contain the number of samples in the respective groups. In general computing the mean of accuracies does not yield the correct accuracy of a model. E.g. if we have two classes with accuracies of 90% and 10% then the mean would be 50%. We have no information about the number of samples here. If we would have 100 samples in the 1st class and 10 samples in the 2nd class, then the real accuracy would be 83% (91/110).

I checked again and yeah I think you're right. I guess this computation does only make sense under the assumption that each combination of bias & target attribute is equally likely to appear and estimating the accuracy of each combination separately before combining them using the assumption.
But I guess that's also what they are interested in, when calculating "unbiased" accuracy. As they state in the paper "We construct the unbiased evaluation set in a way that the target and bias attributes
are uncorrelated"

Hi,
Could I know how to calculate the "unbiased" accuracy in the paper? I can't got the results in the paper.
