Measuring Equity: Funnel Representation Measurement
Applications
2021-12-16 v1 Methodology
Abstract
We present a methodology to measure the gender representation for online product funnels. It is a part of the overall equity framework to better understand our products through funnel analysis. By leveraging the coarsened exact matching method from causal inference literature, we show that the funnel survival ratio metric we design can detect the representation differences inherent in our products. Understanding how big the representation differences are between different member groups, as well as understanding what explains them, is critical for fostering more equitable outcomes.
