Fairness has to be tested using a purely statistical metric.  I have two 
numeric measures from the outcome of the employment interview process.  The 
first is the yes or no decision to consider the applicant.  For those 
applicants where the answer was yes I have a integer score on a fixed 
interval.  An applicant that is scored in the upper 50%tile can be hired.  I 
have five Groups of Applicants. I have five groups of reviewers.  Each 
combination has between 5 and 140 applications per wave.  Applications are 
not randomly assigned to reviewers.  A fair review assumes the joint 
distribution of yes/no and score is the same for each applicant group within 
review group.  I need distribution free statistics and tests that control 
for both alpha and beta risk.  The reviews come in waves.  Applicants that 
fail in a wave can reapply.  I have data on 18 waves.
