The phrase "a conservative approximation for" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing a method or estimate that is intentionally cautious or limited in its assumptions or predictions.
Example: "In our analysis, we used a conservative approximation for the expected growth rate to ensure that our projections remain realistic."
Alternatives: "a cautious estimate for" or "a careful approximation for".
A Lipschitz-based approach, which provides a conservative approximation for the min max problem, is used to solve the control problem, retaining the computational complexity of nominal MPC formulations and the robustness of the min max approach.
Further, the value of the eccentricity of 0.05 plan dimension, which is prescribed in the most current seismic design codes for accidental torsional effects, is not a conservative approximation for the accidental eccentricity caused just by the influences of the torsional component, particularly in symmetric, torsionally stiff, multistory buildings.
DT50 for the whole system characterizes degradation as well as formation of bound residues in the sediment and is used as a conservative approximation of the half-life in sediment for comparison with the P criteria.
The prevalence of 10% for calculating the sample size is based on a conservative approximation of the prevalence of CMD, which ranges from about 6% to about 40% (Table 1).
By using a conservative approximation of 0.15 IU/ml as a cutoff point, the new ELISA-based technique demonstrated a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95% for human samples and for experimental animal samples.
Our approach of deconvolving with a more anisotropic and sharper kernel computed from the CC results in a less aggressive deconvolution and a conservative approximation of the fODF.
The first is a conservative approximation, recommended as base-case for cost-effectiveness evaluations.
A total of 4 million reads were extracted for each simulation, a conservative approximation to the number of usable reads produced on a single lane of a GA flow cell at the time of these experiments.
