The phrase "a means for estimation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing methods or tools that assist in making estimates or approximations in various contexts, such as finance, project management, or scientific research.
Example: "The software provides a means for estimation of project costs based on historical data and current market trends."
Alternatives: "a method for estimation" or "a tool for estimation".
The designs of most systems-on-a-chip (SoC) architectures rely on simulation as a means for performance estimation.
The deflection of those pillars due to the adhesion of S. aureus serves as a means for force estimation and is measured in a scanning electron microscope after fixation of the incubated substrates.
For example, estimating the mean, additive, dominance, and 3 pairwise epistatic effects requires at least 6 generation means for estimation and 7 for hypothesis testing.
This paper explores the use of dynamic testing of rock bolts, currently used for collar load estimation as a means for indirect measurement of the effective installed bolt length, in order to determine potentially broken bolts.
The Multi-Taper method (MTM) of spectral analysis provides a means for spectral estimation [ 20, 21] of a time series that is believed to exhibit a spectrum containing both continuous and singular components.
We find that variation in the RSS between the data matrix (V ) and the NMF-estimated matrix (WH ) provides a natural means for estimation of r, in as much as this plot shows an inflection when r matches the proper number of dimensions.
Calculations of the L-averaged lifetime of high-energy protons indicate that the DST approach provides a reasonable means for estimation of the secular variation of the inner zone proton environment.
Through simulation, this specification of the hierarchical Bayesian model allows marginal distributions for a number of parameters of interest to be easily determined, thereby providing means for estimation of means and credible regions.
Even though deep water for these landslides would provide a means for lubrication and long runout, velocity estimations and the morphology suggest a subaerial, rather than subaqueous failures in Valles Marineris.
