Given the observed non-linearity of intervention-driven effects in FA, we opted to use "session number" as a categorical predictor in the analysis to follow, since this approach summarizes session-to-session differences from baseline, without imposing a shape on the trajectory of change.
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.
But, by definition, no work of art can consist purely of random data, and Mr. Garrel does finally impose a shape on his material — usually a triangular one, in which he or his surrogate (in "Guitar," his role is played by Benoît Régent) stands passively between two demanding women.
The Western painter usually imposed a design on the artificially limited surface of a flat, rectangular canvas; and the sculptor, following predetermined spatial arrangements, imposed a shape on his material.
In addition, such regressions typically impose a shape on the fitted dose response curve, including an assumption of linearity that extends to the lowest exposure levels.
All this began to change in the 90's as Ms. Beattie increasingly imposed a narrative shape on her characters' stories, connecting the psychological dots while investigating consequences and causes.

And to the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to explicitly examine the functional form of the relationship between BMI and HRQL by means of semiparametric regression methods, i.e., without imposing a priori constraints on its shape such as polynomial forms or piecewise constant terms.
And Mr. Santangelo does well at delicately shaping the performance into different sections without heavily imposing a theatrical structure on a form that must appear uninhibited.
