Precision in naming your coefficients is a sign of respect for the scientific process. Swiss and Austrian universities follow the same APA-style guidelines for German-language publications, making this phrase universal across the DACH region. In the German tech scene (Berlin/Munich), there is a mix of English and German. While 'Weights' is often used, 'Beta-Gewichte' remains the standard in formal documentation.
