  -> Thanks FX Fraipont. Yes, probably better although both seem to be used.
agree  CJ.Ecoffet: Je vote pour cette proposition. Je me demande seulement si "diminution" ou "baisse" ne serait pas préférable à "réduction", bien que les deux termes soient très proches, voire interchangeables ?

neutral  Francis Marche: C'est "baisse" ou "régression" : "réduction" en français est une action volontaire et maîtrisée

neutral  DLyons: Overtranslation - it doesnt have to be a regression function (although it often would be).

agree  Francis Marche: La réponse est bonne. Et contrairement à ce que voit DLyons elle ne contient pas "fonction de régression" mais "régression du rendement"

agree  CJ.Ecoffet: le rendement baisse, régresse, diminue, est réduit...peut être un faux débat, les deux propositions sont équivalentes...ou presque ;-)
