Early studies reported preserved formulaic language in left hemisphere damaged subjects and reduced incidence of formulaic expressions in the conversational speech of stroke patients with right hemispheric damage. Clinical observations suggest a possible role also of subcortical nuclei. This study examined formulaic language in the spontaneous speech of stroke patients with left, right, or subc...

SUMMARY Diagnostic residual and partial residual plots are proposed to identify nonlinearity in covariates for generalized linear models. It is shown that these plots are complement each other in the detection of nonlinearity. In addition, a transformed additive model which allows the resulting residual and partial residual plots to be obtained through the standard least squares approach is pro...
