I got my copy of @chadtopaz.bsky.social's book! Hey, author friend! How does COMPAS actually compute its score? Is it just an arbitrary weighted average of risk factors like Consumers Reports does for washing machines, or is there more sophisticated (if biased) math under the hood?

Tagging for 🧮. Every year I read the citations and the popular press writeup and learn a bit about math outside my area. In this one, the citation admits, "Yes, this is very technical," and I still don't feel I know what he's done. Can anyone communicate this better? Maybe @stevenstrogatz.com
