The phrase "a modest error in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a small or minor mistake in a specific context, such as a report, calculation, or statement.
Example: "The analysis contained a modest error in the final calculations, which did not significantly affect the overall results."
Alternatives: "a slight mistake in" or "a minor error in".
The results of the simulation indicate that modest errors in registration do not lead to large survival differences.
Overall, adding a second round of mapping that incorporated SNP and indel variants called in the first round of mapping resulted in an ∼1% increase in sequence coverage (just over 1 million sites added) and a modest improvement in error rate relative to performing only a single round of mapping with only BWA.
Our data was not very variable and contained only a modest measurement error.
The curvature-dependent feedrate appears to be most advantageous in situations exemplified by case (c), since it affords a dramatic suppression of local contour error with a modest increase in traversal time.
As medication errors are known to be a significant cause of morbidity and increased hospitalization costs [ 1], a modest reduction in medication ordering errors with PDA use should provide hospitals and residency programs with sufficient incentive to invest in the technology.
We explored the effect of fixing the time delay and found that fixing it at 80 ms, a plausible value given neural time delays in the feedback loop, gave only a modest 4% increase in the error (from 7.43 to 7.72%).
Even after accounting for that, however, there is still a modest discrepancy in the margins of error that we respectively identify.
The model led to a modest improvement in root mean square error and range of the values.
Although the model successfully estimates WC and, using the WC estimate, membership in the risk clusters, we observed a modest level of systematic error in the model results.
