It can be used when discussing the foundation or criteria used to make an estimation or calculation.
Example: "The historical data provides a basis for estimating future sales trends."
Alternatives: "a foundation for estimation" or "a framework for estimating".

Therefore, a major contribution of this study is setting a basis for estimates of long-term disability due to THI in order to advance knowledge by conducting further research and planning interventions to reduce its impact on population health.
Biological monitoring also takes into account absorption by all routes, integrates exposure from all sources, and therefore can be used as a basis for estimate of total risk from multiple chemicals.
Conclusions: To this author's knowledge, it has not been previously suggested that the phenomenon of confounding amplification, if such amplification is as predictable as suggested by a recent simulation, provides a logical basis for estimating total residual confounding.
