Table 9. Results of the Mann-Whitney U test and the t-test comparing boundary shift for the three forms of iterated algorithmic bias with class-dependent human action probability ratio 1:1 and 10:1.

The effect size is calculated as (Boundary|ratio = 1: 1Boundary|ratio = 10: 1)/standard.dev at time t = 200. Both Filter bias and active learning bias show no significant difference between the two ratios. On the other hand, random selection leads to more points predicted to be in class y = 1.

Filter Bias Active Learning Random Selection
Mann-Whitney test p-value 0.038 0.30 7.8e- 9
t-test p-value 0.07 0.18 1.4e- 9
effect size -0.4 0.04 -1.28
