description | In this paper, a regression model between neutron star crust–core pressure and the symmetry energy characteristics was estimated using the Akaike information criterion and the adjusted coefficient of determination <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msubsup><mi>R</mi><mrow><mi>a</mi><mi>d</mi><mi>j</mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msubsup></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The most probable value of the transition density, which should characterize the crust–core environment of the sought physical neutron star model, was determined based on the obtained regression function. An anti-correlation was found between this transition density and the main characteristic of the symmetry energy, i.e., its slope <i>L</i>. |
