Because high levels of collinearity may exist for PM2.5 measurements taken closely together in time, the lag weights in the distributed lag model can be constrained to reduce collinearity by imposing a shape on the lag distribution, with a common approach being to constrain the lag weights to follow a low-order polynomial function.
"Books, too, have beginnings and endings, and they attempt to impose a pattern, to make a shape".
As Drabble puts it, "The jigsaw, with its frame, is a simulacrum of meaning, order and design.... Books, too, have beginnings and endings, and they attempt to impose a pattern, to make a shape.
