# Overview

This package implements Distance Weighted Discrimination (DWD). DWD For details see
([Marron et al 2007][marron-et-al], [Wang and Zou 2018][wang-zou]). Originally
implemented in Python by [Iain Carmichael][iain-carmichael]. Currently maintained by
[Kitware, Inc][kitware].

The package currently implements:

- Original DWD formulation solved with Second Order Cone Programming (SOCP) and solved
using cvxpy.

- Genralized DWD (gDWD) and kernel gDWD solved with the Majorization-Minimization
algorithm presented in Wang and Zou, 2018.

# Installation

The DWD package can be installed via pip or github. This package is currently only
tested in python 3.6.

```
$ pip install dwd
```

[Flit](https://github.com/takluyver/flit) is used for packaging, and all package metadata is stored in `pyproject.toml`. To install this project locally or for development, use `flit install` or build a pip-installable wheel with `flit build`.

# Example

```python
  from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs, make_circles
  from dwd import DWD, KernGDWD

  # sample sythetic training data
  X, y = make_blobs(n_samples=200, n_features=2,
                    centers=[[0, 0],
                             [2, 2]])

  # fit DWD classifier
  dwd = DWD(C='auto').fit(X, y)

  # compute training accuracy
  dwd.score(X, y)

  0.94
```

![dwd_sep_hyperplane][dwd_sep_hyperplane]

```python
# sample some non-linear, toy data
X, y = make_circles(n_samples=200, noise=0.2, factor=0.5, random_state=1)

# fit kernel DWD wit gaussian kernel
kdwd = KernGDWD(lambd=.1, kernel='rbf',
                kernel_kws={'gamma': 1}).fit(X, y)

# compute training accuracy
kdwd.score(X, y)

0.915
```
