Researchers have introduced a new framework called Selection of the Best with Fairness Constraints (SBFC) to address the challenge of selecting a single policy that performs adequately across diverse subpopulations. This approach aims to identify policies with high average performance while meeting minimum per-subpopulation thresholds, a requirement often found in high-stakes fields like healthcare and public policy. The team developed a Track-and-Stop with Constraints on Subpopulation (T-a-S-CS) algorithm that asymptotically achieves the theoretical sample complexity lower bound for this problem, with demonstrated efficiency gains in numerical experiments and a case study.
