  <dc:title>Analysis of Differential Behaviour of SPARRA Score Across
Demographic Groups</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package SPARRAfairness version 0.1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The SPARRA risk score (Scottish Patients At Risk of admission and Re-Admission) estimates yearly risk of emergency hospital admission using electronic health records on a monthly basis for most of the Scottish population. This package implements a suite of functions used to analyse the behaviour and performance of the score, focusing particularly on differential performance over demographically-defined groups. It includes useful utility functions to plot receiver-operator-characteristic, precision-recall and calibration curves, draw stock human figures, estimate counterfactual quantities without the need to re-compute risk scores, to simulate a semi-realistic dataset. Our manuscript can be found at: &lt;doi:10.1371/journal.pdig.0000675&gt;.</dc:description>
