D'autres travaux relient les pertes de rendement à une variable caractérisée de la progression de la maladie, l'AUDPC (area under disease [progress] curve ou «aire sous la courbe de progression de la maladie»). L'AUDPC est calculée, dans une situation donnée, par l'aire de la courbe, généralement logistique ou exponentielle, d'évolution de la sévérité de la maladie. 1, record 1, French, - aire%20sous%20la%20courbe%20de%20progression%20de%20la%20maladie

La ligne de régression, qui peut être courbe ou droite, suscite certains problèmes d'appellations; en fait, nombre d'utilisateurs et d'ouvrages spécialisés n'hésitent pas à nommer la courbe, «droite», et vice versa. Il faut également se méfier d'un faux ami, line of regression [et regression line dans son sens spécifique], ne correspond pas au générique français «ligne de régression» mais bien à DROITE DE RÉGRESSION. 1, record 2, French, - ligne%20de%20r%C3%A9gression
