Why model neuron attrition? These kinds of calculations are normally done in production mode, that is, within computing setups not prone to component failure. Maybe you're thinking of neural nets that map onto a large number of machines or sites. For distributed computation you have to double or triple the total workload in order to verify each computation. In this case, nodes going on- and off-line is the least of your problems. Central data retention remains the issue.
