The phrase "a robust indicator for" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a strong or reliable measure or sign of something, often in research or analytical contexts.
Example: "The increase in sales is a robust indicator for the effectiveness of our marketing strategy."
Alternatives: "a strong sign of" or "a reliable measure of".
While our results allow us to conclude that degree alone is a robust indicator for a proteins propensity to be evolutionary conserved, the inherent topological robustness of locally clustered links emphasizes the emergent role of cohesive areas [ 26] as mediators of evolutionary information.
Indeed, Page et al. [10] state that "bees who are sensitive to sucrose are also sensitive to stimuli of other modalities" so that "sucrose responsiveness can be used as a robust indicator for general differences of processing information in the central nervous system".
Furthermore, we established GFP-Rab7 turnover as a robust indicator for general changes in endolysosomal activity, allowing for the distinction between specific autophagic and general endolysosomal activity.
Similarly, the absence of a number of clinical signs (oral mucosa redness, angular cheilitis, residual root, glossalgia, taste disorder, denture, and ulceration) was a robust indicator for the absence of Candida.
Therefore this metric is not considered a robust indicator of optimality for systems of multiple plants located within heterogeneous biomass supply distributions.
While HIA predictions alone would not be sufficient for a definitive assignment of pathogenicity, except for some key residues with critical functional roles such as 255G>A (m.902G>andand 533U>G (m.1180T>G), the method does provide a robust indicator of disruptiveness for a large group of mutations lacking direct evidence regarding their role in mitochondrial dysfunction.
This has been shown to be a robust indicator of socioeconomic status for the Singaporean population [ 37].
What I hope all this shows is that (a) it's complicated; (b) unique users is not an useful index of demand, even if some people are instinctively drawn to this (smaller) figure for political reasons and (c) the 1.1m people figure is essentially a robust indicator of food bank use, though we must be careful how we express it.
The return on investment in adult education is a robust indicator of the successes that can be found through targeted funding streams.
The number of steps is a robust indicator of the actual execution time (see barometer instruction technique [14]).
