Ominously, consumption was one of the weakest factors in the government's initial second-quarter GDP forecast released Monday.
The strength of association between social class and dental anxiety was one of the weakest factors entered into the logistic regression (together with education).
Linear regression models were used to determine subsets of childhood predictors of adult M and AIR using backward selection, i.e., all factors were initially placed in the model, and the weakest factors were sequentially rejected until only those with a P < 0.1 remained.
Concluding these observations, the muscle remains the weak factor in the regenerative process, since an atrophy of the muscle limits the functional outcome even after successful microsurgical reconstruction of nerve continuity.
We define a new graph operator, called the weak-factor graph, which comes from the context of complex network modelling.
Therefore, we design a slight variation of the weak-factor operator, called clean-factor, and prove that its associated series terminates for all input graphs.
We address the problem of the termination of the series of graphs obtained by iteratively applying the weak-factor operator starting from a given input graph.
The weak-factor operator is close to the well-known clique-graph operator but it rather operates in terms of bicliques in a multipartite graph.
These two elements would work well enough for most cases, were it not for what is often the single weakest factor: human habit.
