The phrase "a function of reference" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the role or purpose of something in relation to a reference point or standard.
Example: "In this analysis, we will explore the concept of a function of reference in determining the accuracy of the data presented."
Alternatives: "a role of reference" or "a purpose of reference".
In this work, we seek to expand upon these earlier two efforts by exploring in more depth the rate of growth of shape space as a function of reference shape count, conformer volume, and ST value with a much larger data set of 16.4 million biologically relevant small molecules and their 1.46 billion diverse conformers.
These sigmoidal shaped psychometric functions describe the probability of perceiving the reference patch as higher in contrast than the target patch, as a function of reference patch contrast.
The topology of bacterial Co-Conservation networks exhibited interesting similarities and differences as a function of reference genomes.
Under our imputation scheme, we quantify imputation accuracy as a function of reference panel size and demographic parameters for the populations containing the target and reference haplotypes.
In particular, we derive expressions for expected imputation accuracy as a function of reference panel size and divergence time between the reference and target populations.
By measuring the image contrast as a function of reference arm length, a coherence gate with a full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 2.7 µm is found.
The role of the potential distribution on the impedance diagram of thin layer covered electrodes has been investigated as a function of the reference tip position and layer thickness.
Thus, for any point source at position, P, the efficiency can be expressed as a function of the reference efficiency at the same energy, E, [11]: ε E, P = ε E, P o Ω eff ( E, P ) Ω eff ( E, P o ) (2).
In this study, subjects were given the choice to report their intakes in terms of grams or as a function of a reference portion size.
Differences across genders may reflect a function of the reference system used, or a biological response to the higher energy needs of men vs. women.
