The phrase "a function that characterizes" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are describing a specific function or role that defines or describes a particular characteristic or behavior.
Example: "In mathematics, a function that characterizes the relationship between variables is essential for understanding the underlying principles."
Alternatives: "a function that defines" or "a function that describes".
Several studies proceed from a sigmoid function that characterizes the 'local' neuronal gain related to a sensory input (cf. Destexhe et al. 2001; Freeman, 1979; Rajagovindan and Ding, 2010).
Also, we denote by ω a scalar function that characterizes the microstretch and by θ the temperature measured from the constant absolute temperature T 0 of the body in its reference state.
The fitness of the chromosomes is analyzed through an objective function called the fitness function that characterizes the performance of individual chromosomes in the search space.
In particular, we modified the probability density function that characterizes the standard continuous HMM to include state and component dependent stream relevance weights.
It has been demonstrated that noise can act similarly to DA D1 agonists in moving subjects along the inverted U shaped response function that characterizes the relationship between DA D1 receptor stimulation and prefrontal function (Arnsten and Goldman-Rakic 1998).
Using a conceptual model that considers two modes (transit and driving) and user heterogeneity, we analyze user equilibrium solutions under each new policy, and for policies based on permit trading, introduce and characterize a function that links individuals' trading behavior to their value of time.
In the formulation used, the value of a membership function corresponding to a particular PVT properties value is no longer a crisp value; rather, it is associated with a range of values that can be characterized by a function that reflects the level of uncertainty.
The change in concentration of a reactant is characterized by a function that takes the regulatory influence (activation or inhibition) of other reactants into account.
As the CEFR suggests, the TOPE also features a qualitative progression in the functions that characterize learner language among levels.
