AIR is another well-known and widely accepted measure of discrimination used for evaluating yes-no decisions. AIR is the ratio of the acceptance rate for a protected class and the acceptance rate for the control group.

$$\dfrac{Pr(\hat{y} = 1 | X_{p} = 1)}{Pr(\hat{y} = 1 | X_{c} = 1)}$$

A lower AIR would indicate that a lower percentage of applicants within the protected class are accepted than applicants in the control group. Importantly, AIR is one measure of disparate impact that is associated with a published practical significance threshold. Specifically, in some employment law contexts, AIR values below 0.8 that are statistically significant may be considered prima facie evidence of illegal disparate impact discrimination.
