Utilitarianism and discrimination [PDF]
Social Choice and Welfare, 2013 Since Becker (1971), a common argument against asymmetric norms that promote minority rights over those of the majority is that such policies reduce total welfare. While this may be the case, we show that there are simple environments where aggregate sum of individual utilities is actually maximized under asymmetric norms that favor minorities. We thus

The density of discriminants of quintic rings and fields [PDF]
, 2010 We determine, asymptotically, the number of quintic fields having bounded discriminant. Specifically, we prove that the asymptotic number of quintic fields having absolute discriminant at most X is a constant times X.

Person Re-identification by Local Maximal Occurrence Representation and Metric Learning [PDF]
, 2015 Person re-identification is an important technique towards automatic search of a person's presence in a surveillance video. Two fundamental problems are critical for person re-identification, feature representation and metric learning.

Alternating direction method of multipliers for penalized zero-variance discriminant analysis [PDF]
, 2015 We consider the task of classification in the high dimensional setting where the number of features of the given data is significantly greater than the number of observations.

Discriminant Diagnostics [PDF]
Biometrics, 1997 I discuss diagnostic methods for discriminant analysis. The equivalence with linear regression is noted and regression diagnostics are considered. The leverage is a function of the linear discriminant function and the Mahalanobis distance of the observation from the group mean.

From Discriminating to Discrimination
, 2022 This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to try to answer the question of how do we, as human beings, go from the socially neutral linguistic act of discriminating external stimuli to the socially loaded act of promoting social discrimination though language?

Cubic Thue inequalities with positive discriminant [PDF]
, 2013 We will give an explicit upper bound for the number of solutions to cubic inequality |F(x, y)| \leq h, where F(x, y) is a cubic binary form with integer coefficients and positive discriminant D.

THE DISCRIMINATION OF COLOUR [PDF]
BMJ, 1911 Abstract In a paper on the relation of light perception to colour perception, and in previous writings, I have stated that if a portion of the spectrum be isolated, it will appear monochromatic, the length of the monochromatic region varying with the intensity and wave-length of the light and the colour perception of the observer ...

Is the CJEU Discriminating in Age Discrimination Cases? [PDF]
Erasmus Law Review, 2020 Is the CJEU discriminating in age discrimination cases? Claims have been made that the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is more lenient in accepting age discriminating measures affecting older people than in those affecting younger people.

, 2013 For a binary quadratic form $Q$, we consider the action of $\mathrm{SO}_Q$ on a two-dimensional vector space. This representation yields perhaps the simplest nontrivial example of a prehomogeneous vector space that is not irreducible, and of a coregular ...
