Researchers argue that, in some situations where machine-learning models are used to allocate scarce resources or opportunities, randomizing decisions in a structured way may lead to fairer outcomes.

Mendelian randomization (MR) is transforming how scientists uncover causal links in health research by using genetic variants as natural experiments. Recent advances are tackling challenges like rare ...

For many years, MAC Address Randomization was slated as the next big thing for protecting user privacy on the modern Internet. The standard, which works by deploying a new MAC address to a device in ...

Mendelian randomization is a study design that uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to test the causal effect of a (non-genetic) risk factor on a disease or health-related outcome. Since ...
