It can be used when comparing the effectiveness or ease of understanding of one predictor over another in a specific context.
Example: "In our study, we found that a simpler predictor of student success is attendance rather than standardized test scores."
Alternatives: "an easier indicator of" or "a more straightforward predictor of".

Arable land was used as a simple predictor of landscape complexity, as it is closely related to landscape parameters such as habitat type diversity.
A new parameter [−ΔGCNP−P], defined as the per carbon difference in Gibbs free energy of adsorption between alkane and polar probe molecules, provides a simple predictor of surface hydrophobicity and corresponding catalyst activity in fatty acid esterification.

In order to ensure that there was no better and simpler predictor of performance from the number of moves, we performed curve fitting for logarithmic, linear (like U N)), polynomial, power law and exponential (like B(N) and I task)) models.
