Bias in OLAP Queries: Detection, Explanation, and Removal (Or Think Twice About Your AVG-Query)

Summary: HypDB detects bias in OLAP queries via independence tests, explains the causes, and rewrites biased queries into unbiased forms. Real-data evaluations show accurate bias detection, actionable explanations, and automatic discovery of insights, including a landmark 1973 discrimination case.
