Multiway Sparse Distance Weighted Discrimination
Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 2022 Modern data often take the form of a multiway array. However, most classification methods are designed for vectors, i.e., 1-way arrays. Distance weighted discrimination (DWD) is a popular high-dimensional classification method that has been extended to the multiway context, with dramatic improvements in performance when data have multiway structure ...

Bayesian Distance Weighted Discrimination
Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, 2022 Distance weighted discrimination (DWD) is a linear discrimination method that is particularly well-suited for classification tasks with high-dimensional data. The DWD coefficients minimize an intuitive objective function, which can solved very efficiently using state-of-the-art optimization techniques.

Sensorimotor mechanisms in weight discrimination [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1984 The role of efferent and afferent signals in weight discrimination was investigated by using the tonic vibratory reflex contraction of the biceps muscle. Differential thresholds were obtained for two lifting conditions (normal and reflex) and two static conditions (with and without muscular tonus).

Perceived weight discrimination and risk of incident dementia. [PDF]
Int J Obes (Lond), 2019 Body mass index (BMI) and obesity have a complex relation with risk of dementia that evolves over the lifespan. Research in other domains indicates that the social experience of body weight, not just BMI, is associated with worse health outcomes. The present research uses data from the Health and Retirement Study (N = 12,053) to test whether weight ...
