The phrase "association costs" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to economics, business, or social sciences, referring to the costs incurred from forming or maintaining associations or relationships.
Example: "The association costs of maintaining partnerships with various stakeholders can significantly impact our budget."
Alternatives: "relationship expenses" or "affiliation costs".
Concerning the association costs, MHT shares a common base with GNN (see Section 4.4.1).
Such a modified association problem resembles the auction algorithm [2, 27], along with the corresponding association costs defined in (32).
A track is destroyed if it is not associated to an observation three times in succession or if the sum of its historical association costs reaches zero.
Essentially, if for a track t all the association costs {MD t,m)} m exceed a large threshold, then this track is considered 'dead' and is associated with the dummy target.
Similarly for a target m, if all the association costs {MD t,m)} t are too large, then this target is considered 'born' and is associated with the dummy track.
Association costs have the potential to have a powerful effect on sexual selection.
But the association cost him dearly: Bergdorf dropped him, and the average Jane didn't seem too enthused, either.
Then, the association cost C i, j A between an observation and an existing track is given by C i, j A = C K + C S (18) C K = ln ( S | ) − N ln ( 2 π ) + d 2 2 (19) C S = ln ( P D 1 − P D ) (20).
The pairwise-association cost can be quantified using the Mahalanobis distance between track t's prediction and P ̂ k ( m ) as a measurement, that is, MD ( t, m ) : = p ̂ k | k - 1 ( t ) - p ̂ k ( m ) T ( P ̂ k | k - 1 ( t ) ) - 1 p ̂ k | k - 1 ( t ) - p ̂ k ( m ).
Certainly, the negative association between costs and mortality and costs and readmission conditional on not dying does not mean that every clinical intervention is justified, especially if the costs of the intervention are greater than the benefits.
The negative association between costs and mortality suggests that outcomes should be monitored closely when introducing cost-containment programs.
