The phrase "a means to predict" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing methods or tools that facilitate forecasting or anticipating outcomes.
Example: "The new algorithm serves as a means to predict customer behavior based on past purchasing patterns."
Alternatives: "a method for forecasting" or "a tool for anticipating".
Our decision to apply a low predicted risk threshold for the application of the model clearly defines this as a means to predict low risk of AHFS hospitalisation, and the negative predictive value (99.1% and 100% in derivation and validation cohorts) means that <1% of 'low risk' patients will experience AHFS hospitalisation.
In this paper, we use an energy transition paradigm as a means to predict this change.
Dr. Lue is also interested in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics modeling, early clinical trial development, and biomarker development as a means to predict clinical response to therapy.
Letter to cancer center directors: Progress in quantitative imaging as a means to predict and/or measure tumor response in cancer therapy trials.
Understanding how past environmental changes have left a trace in stone allow us to use stone as a means to predict potential impacts of future change.
We recently adapted this signature from use in fresh frozen CRC samples to more clinically-available, archived formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues17 as a means to predict RAS pathway dependence regardless of RAS/RAF mutation status.
It is hoped that the molecular characterization of the earliest lesions that have the potential to progress may provide an objective means to predict the biological course of these lesions.
We developed an alternative means to predict the relative DNA abundance of organisms by extracting DNA from a known number of cells of each organism in isolation and quantifying the amount of extracted DNA (see Table 1).
There is an increasing need for novel means to predict prognosis and outcome of the disease.
In this study, ε-SVR method was used for developing a model meant to predict bubble point pressure (Pb) from PVT data, including solution gas-oil-ratio (Rs), gas specific gravity (Yg), temperature (T), and stock-tank oil gravity (γo).
It answers the question of how well the scores on a test agree with performance on a task it was meant to predict.
