In many scientific studies, the response variable bears a generalized nonlinear regression relationship with a certain covariate of interest, which may, however, be confounded by other covariates with unknown functional form. We propose a new class of models, the partly parametric generalized additive model (PPGAM) for doing generalized nonlinear regression with the confounding covariate effect...

Until recent years it was widely held that damage to part of the nerve supply of a voluntary muscle had a permanent effect and that the surviving nerve fibres were unable to reinnervate muscle fibres deprived of their nerve supply. It was assumed that the only possibility of recovery of power in the muscle was by hypertrophy of muscle fibres whose nerve supply had escaped damage. The problen ha...

We present a novel class of theories where supersymmetry is only preserved in a partial (non-isolated) sector. The supersymmetric sector consists of CFT bound-states that can coexist with fundamental states which do not respect supersymmetry. These theories arise from the 4D holographic interpretation of 5D theories in a slice of AdS where supersymmetry is broken on the UV boundary. In particul...
