fairlearn.metrics.equal_opportunity_ratio

fairlearn.metrics.equal_opportunity_ratio(y_true, y_pred, *, sensitive_features, method='between_groups', sample_weight=None)

Calculate the equal opportunity ratio.

The equal opportunity ratio is defined as the ratio between the smallest and the largest group-level true positive rate, \(E[h(X) | A=a]\), across all values \(a\) of the sensitive feature(s). The equal opportunity ratio of 1 means that all groups have the same true positive rate.
