The phrase "an estimate of depth" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing measurements, assessments, or evaluations related to depth, such as in scientific, engineering, or artistic discussions.
Example: "The survey provided an estimate of depth for the underwater excavation site, which will help in planning the construction."
Alternatives: "a depth assessment" or "a depth measurement".
The square root of the AP field provides an estimate of the depth of the laterals; the depth of the AP field is the average of the square root of each lateral field.
Retardation was converted to an estimate of RNFL depth by the software that provides 256 RNFL depth estimates within an eight-pixel-wide ring with inner and outer radii of 27 and 35 pixels, respectively.
At somewhat shorter wavelengths, the signal from the top dominates the spectrum and an estimate of the depth to the top can be obtained (Okubo et al. [1985]).
Table 2.3 provides an estimate of the depth to apply as a function of the maximum water temperature on the day preceding the frost event.
Here the deepest observations from a given area is used as an estimate of the depth limit (Krause-Jensen and Rasmussen, 2009, their category 1 data).
These components represent the spatial rate of change of gravitational acceleration and have a much more precise response than the gravity magnitude vector, allowing a better estimate of depth and composition of targets.
Dividing gamma power by delta power for individual epochs results in a temporal estimate of depth of sleep, the IDOS index, visually similar to the hypnogram gained by R&K analysis.
The approach used to estimate the latter quantity is to focus on the range of the distribution in which most k-mers are unique and substitute an estimate of the expected depth of a unique k-mer instead.
We estimated the genome size as the ratio of the total number of k-mers divided by the mean number of occurrences of the unique k-mer counts (an estimate of the expected depth of distinct sequences of length k), as shown in Figure 5. Table 2 gives these quantities as well as the genome size estimates for k = 24 and k = 31.
A low-resolution estimate of depth is also constructed during the first pass as a guide for further work.
