The phrase "almost binary" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe something that is nearly, but not entirely, binary in nature, often in contexts related to data, logic, or decision-making.
Example: "The results of the experiment were almost binary, with only a few cases falling outside the two main categories."
Alternatives: "nearly binary" or "practically binary".
But it's easy to assess performance when you have simplistic, almost binary, expectations of a footballer.
In order for the images to be of any relevance, the photographer would have needed to manually adjust its settings, until the tents were clearly defined, in almost binary terms, against the background; and the figures of the occupiers walking around outside were completely over-exposed and apparently "white hot", rather than a spectrum of colours.
A variation of the chemical composition of the thin films from almost binary systems (for substrates placed on circular positions at the rim of the coated area) towards thin films with an almost equimolar composition (i.e. obtained for samples coated at the center region of the target) was achieved.
The (almost) binary grouping that motivated this post is between those who reckon that banks, debt and money are of no real consequence in capitalism, and those who believe that the mere mechanics of banking guarantee that capitalism is doomed.
Given the immunohistochemical protocols were almost identical, this difference is most likely due to our use of fluorescent secondary antibodies that provide almost binary signal amplification.
This obviously led to an almost binary data set in which only 11.6% of the 3360 tumour samples showed a positive tumour cell fraction of less than 70%, and on average 19.6% a weak to moderate staining intensity.
Nevertheless, Martin-Löf's result does establish that there are random sequences that satisfy all the properties of stochasticity, and that in fact almost all binary sequences are random in that sense.
"When it comes to making a decision based on personality scores, that decision is almost always binary or categorical," he says.
miR-190b had an almost discrete binary expression mode with higher expression in the luminal-A/B subtypes than in the basal-like/ERBB2-enriched subtypes (TNoM p<4E-15).
The latter were derived from almost 127 000 binary relationships, i.e. the complete events correspond to only 14% of the original extracted relationships.
In Section 4, we apply the above properties to search out some quasi-perfect binary-third-order cyclic autocorrelation sequences (QPBTOCAS) and almost perfect binary-third-order cyclic autocorrelation sequences (APBTOCAS) with short lengths by computer, and the periodic correlation performances of the sequences are analyzed by MATLAB (MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA).
