The phrase "less inference" is not grammatically correct as a standalone phrase.
"Inference" is a noun, and it needs an adjective to modify it, such as "less." However, the phrase "less inference" could be used as part of a sentence, such as "Using fewer details in the story leads to less inference by the reader." This means that providing less information to the reader will result in them making fewer assumptions or guesses about the story.
The literature reviewed by author reveals that, (i) There are less or practically no inference of maintenance strategy selection based on agile maintenance enabler attributes, (ii) There are less inferences of application of Graphical methods for selection of maintenance alternatives of SGU in thermal power plant, (iii) Fuzziness is not included in graphical methods.
With the exception of the last example, these works focused primarily on spatial interpolation, and less on inference of causal factors.
But a less definite inference between monocots and eudicots using microsynteny was reasonable and possibly due to the far divergence of monocots and eudicots.
The estimation of parameter values from biological time series data is not a trivial problem, and the estimation algorithms for nonlinear mixed-effects are computationally complex and often provide less accurate inference than for linear effects models.
In other cases, however, increasing complication can lead to less robust inference or ecologically insignificant improvements, which nevertheless waste practitioners' time and direct their energies away from less glamorous topics such as improved data collection; there is also often an increased chance of mistakes in implementation.
Evidence in support of catalytic and/or regulatory subunit function in a phosphorylation event typically includes a genetic requirement for in vivo phosphorylation, effects on substrate phosphorylation in vitro, or less definitively, inference from activity in other species or matches to a defined consensus sequence.
If the detection rates of aftershocks regarding magnitudes are same throughout the target period, we can make use of a homogeneous dataset under a smaller threshold magnitude instead of the dataset of completely detected threshold magnitudes to allow less-uncertain inference and prediction (Ogata and Katsura 1993, 2006).
Similar, though less quantitative, inferences have also been made for ceratopsians [47] and thyreophorans [48], [49].
