The phrase "attrition function" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in contexts related to statistics, mathematics, or business to describe a function that models the rate of attrition or loss over time.
Example: "The attrition function in our analysis indicates a steady decline in customer retention over the past year."
Alternatives: "attrition rate function" or "loss function".
(2) and (3) are uncorrelated, then the attrition function and outcome variable are conditionally independent.
The parameter N0 is the carrying capacity (density) for SS pests in a pure-refuge habitat and is determined by the attrition function g used in the density-dependent attrition map, att, and the fecundity parameter, F, which is the number of offspring per individual that survive to adulthood in the absence of poisoning and density-dependent attrition.
Background: Persistent endobronchial inflammation is in part responsible for the attrition of lung function seen in cystic fibrosis.
The focus on performance has allowed the state to reduce its work force, largely through attrition, and still function well.
The results of aluminum nitride attrition as a function of the impact velocity and particle size exhibited the same trend as the experimentally investigated magnesium oxide particle.
Therefore, it is not explicitly necessary to model selection and attrition as a function of initial conditions [53].
Thus, smoking may accelerate malnutrition via accelerating attrition in renal function in addition to elevating REE.
The predicted influence of material properties on the fracture behaviour of a greater number of crystalline substances as well as the suggested growth function for attrition fragments compare well with experimental results.
For example, we wished to examine the relationship between cognitive function and attrition in the study, but the cognitive function measures were only introduced in later phases of the study, after a substantial number of participants had already requested to be withdrawn.
These results add some additional detail in suggesting that self-reported long-standing illness, a health concern that is not necessarily debilitating or socially isolating, actually reduces both forms of attrition while reduced physical function, mental health and social activity increases withdrawal from the study.
Further support for an association between immune function and telomere attrition comes from studies of human genetic disorders.
