Fairness-aware statistical learning is critical for data-driven decision-making to mitigate discrimination against protected attributes, such as gender, race, and ethnicity. This is especially important for high-stake decision-making, such as insurance underwriting and annuity pricing. This paper proposes a new fairness-regularized principal component analysis - Fair PCA, in the context of high-dimensional factor models. An efficient gradient descent algorithm is constructed with adaptive selection criteria for hyperparameter tuning. The Fair PCA is applied to mortality modelling to mitigate gender discrimination in annuity pricing. The model performance has been validated through both simulation studies and empirical data analysis. |
