From theCambridge English Corpus
best estimate
These potential risk scores represent the best estimate of a pesticide's impact on the surrounding environment.

biased estimate
Failure to fit different intercepts would result in the upwardly biased estimate shown by the dashed line.
From theCambridge English Corpus
biomass estimates
There are no published biomass estimates for liana forest per se, but they fall into the general category of non-dense forests.
From theCambridge English Corpus
coefficient estimate
The coefficient estimate for population density is negative and significant in the joint agricultural-timber regression model.
From theCambridge English Corpus
conservative estimate
The estimate, when used with realistic values of the branching factors, however, provides a conservative estimate of how the algorithms compare in their per formance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
corresponding estimate
The estimate of temporal variability is therefore likely to be more reliable than the corresponding estimate of spatial variability.
From theCambridge English Corpus
crude estimate
The variation around this average gives a crude estimate of the noise and higher-order effects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
current estimate
Their current estimate was that the mass of the neutron should be increased slightly to 1.001 amu.
From theCambridge English Corpus
early estimate
An early estimate of the word's "familiarity" provides "the signal to the eye movement system that lexical access is imminent and that a saccade should be planned" (p. 133).
From theCambridge English Corpus
effect estimate
In the literature, statements were made about the direction of bias from design characteristics (19;22), but a reference effect estimate was never used.
From theCambridge English Corpus
error estimate
Our methods appear to permit this dependence, but at the expense of a badly deteriorated error estimate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
estimate of growth
Though major regular government change has a positive and significant effect on growth, the parameter estimate of growth on major government change is not statistically significantly different from zero.
From theCambridge English Corpus
generous estimate
The most generous estimate suggests that a large minority of men did not hold any offices during their lives.
From theCambridge English Corpus
independent estimate
Consequently, it is not possible to establish an independent estimate of the number of petty landowners.
From theCambridge English Corpus
initial estimate
The initial estimate need not be very accurate, as explained above.
From theCambridge English Corpus
low estimate
As hospitals generally get some financial support from the government, this cost is likely to be a low estimate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
mean estimate
However, with the largest amount of error variance, both the mean estimate and the variation over simulations behave poorly.
From theCambridge English Corpus
minimum estimate
This method assumes that each fusion has originated once and provides a minimum estimate of the number of fusions per chromosome.
From theCambridge English Corpus
national estimate
A more credible national estimate, therefore, results from using the three-area average costs of time and travel.
From theCambridge English Corpus
numerical estimate
In particular, nonnormative response strategies that accidentally lead to a numerical estimate between 30% and 70% are classified as normative responses.
From theCambridge English Corpus
optimistic estimate
This turned out to be an optimistic estimate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
original estimate
With costs already far above the original estimate, a fresh start was impossible.
From theCambridge English Corpus
overall estimate
Squares are used to denote the size or importance of each study in the overall estimate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
precise estimate
A precise estimate of this quantity is difficult to make, and the various determinations made by various investigators differ by several magnitudes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
preliminary estimate
Different functional forms, double-log or log-linear, were tested to obtain a preliminary estimate of the marginal effects and elasticities of the variables.
From theCambridge English Corpus
prevalence estimate
The second, more meticulous examination, by dissecting microscope, added around 4 % to the prevalence estimate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
previous estimate
The value of stores, equipment and vehicles is somewhat less, as stocks have been run down since the previous estimate was prepared.

From theCambridge English Corpus
quantitative estimate
The present data are the first quantitative estimate of the seed bank in this species.
From theCambridge English Corpus
realistic estimate
A more realistic estimate may subsequently be made through laboratory measurements.
From theCambridge English Corpus
reasonable estimate

From theCambridge English Corpus
reliability estimate
The internal consistency reliability estimate for this composite measure is good (0.93).
From theCambridge English Corpus
reliable estimate
We first wanted to know whether this technique leads to a reliable estimate of the amount of muscle tissue of individual copepods.
From theCambridge English Corpus
resulting estimate
Often, the resulting estimate will be similar to the two-point estimate, but when the two differ, the combined three-point estimate should be the more reliable.
From theCambridge English Corpus
revised estimate
Their inclusion in the calculation of local species richness leads to a revised estimate of the local pool of 168 + 36, rather than 152 + 32 fruit fly species.
From theCambridge English Corpus
rough estimate
These indices were, however, just used as a rough estimate of potential light availability.
From theCambridge English Corpus
sample estimate
We simply assume that the sample mean and the sample estimate of burstiness are the same as the theoretical values.
