TL;DR: In this article, a folded concave penalized machine learning scheme with spatial coupling fused penalty (fused FCP) was proposed to build biomarkers for Parkinson's disease directly from whole-brain voxel-wise MRI data.

TL;DR: In this article, the estimation of a scatter matrix under entropy loss, quadratic loss, when the samplesx(1),...x(n) are i.i.d. and x(1)∼ECp(μ,Σ,f).

TL;DR: A numerical comparison indicates that theDC-SIS performs much better than the SIS in various models, and the implementation of the DC-S IS does not require model specification for responses or predictors, which is a very appealing property in ultrahigh-dimensional data analysis.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the impact of e-cigarette use, dependence, cessation motivation/goals, and environmental restriction on the speed of progression to smoking cessation, and found that those with higher secondary dependence motivations of smoking or with lower primary dependence motives of vaping progressed faster to vaping cessation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the editors, Professors Regina Liu and Hongyu Zhao, thank the editors for featuring this article and organizing stimulating discussions and are grateful for the feedback on their work from the three reviewers.
