The phrase "a partial estimate of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing an incomplete or approximate assessment of a particular quantity or value.
Example: "The report provides a partial estimate of the project's total costs, which will be finalized after further analysis."
Alternatives: "an incomplete assessment of" or "a rough calculation of".
The analysis is a partial estimate of the damage wrought by Obama's favored weapon of war, a tool he and his administration describe as far more precise than more familiar instruments of land or air power.
A drawback of all space geodetic tools is the fact that they only produce a partial estimate of the topocentric line-of-sight or velocity-vector.
For example, this study provides only a partial estimate of the overall benefit obtainable with the clean-up of the two contaminated sites in Gela and Priolo.
A partial estimate of the impact on more distantly related sequence comparisons is the increased number of contigs for which no cross-species alignments were found and the reduction in average length of alignments.
Running this decentralized algorithm would require each robot to calculate the partial estimate of 401 parameters, and to wirelessly transmit an error covariance matrix of size 401 × 401, and a parameter estimate vector of size 401 × 1 to every other robot.
Conservation planning studies often use partial estimates of costs, but the extent to which these result in actual efficiencies has not been demonstrated.
In Section 3, we get solutions by linking arguments and give partial estimates of homological information.
However, it only calculates partial estimates of the field parameters and error covariance.
The disadvantage that this approach shares with the completely decentralized one is that partial estimates of all parameters are still being carried by all of the robots all of the time, although information about these estimates might not be complete.
In these volumes, each voxel is represented as a partial volume estimate of a particular tissue type.
The uniform bounds required for proving existence are established by means of a new estimate, which is a partial generalisation of the commutator estimate of Kato and Ponce (1988) [13].
