The phrase "approaches the expected" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing performance, outcomes, or results that are nearing a certain standard or expectation.
Example: "The project's progress approaches the expected timeline, indicating that we are on track to meet our goals."
Alternatives: "nears the anticipated" or "comes close to the expected".
While working on this problem, he extended both the law of large numbers (which states that the observed distribution approaches the expected distribution with increasing sample size) and the central limit theorem to certain sequences of dependent random variables forming special classes of what are now known as Markov chains.
The error of SeqEM rapidly approaches the expected value of the Bayes classifier for fixed read depth as sample size increases.
This observed rate of double-crossover in inversion heterokaryotypes approaches the expected genomic rate of gene conversion (∼10− 10−6), estimated using the rosy locus in Drosophila (Smith et al. 1970; Chovnick 1973).
The SRM inductive principle is designed for statistical estimation with finite data where the ERM inductive principle provides the optimal solution (the empirical risk approaches the expected risk) only for asymptotic (large sample data).
In other deterministic optimization approaches, the expected values are used, which most likely leads to violations of the constraints when the decision variables are implemented on site.
Using our proposed methods, the value of a cluster or the sum of clusters can approach the expected values.
We adopted a U shaped psychometric curve, well suited to capture the effect of temporal expectation, with slowest RTs for the extremely short/long unexpected foreperiods and faster RTs for foreperiods approaching the expected one.
If more clones were sequenced, the calculated expressed-clone complexity would presumably approach the expected.
Average survival almost approached the expected lifespan of a younger cohort.
The correlations with the Physical Health Summary Scores and the Psychosocial Health Summary Scores were slightly lower range (r = 0.35 p = 0.016; and r = 0.51 p = 0.0002 respectively) and approached the expected range.
These numbers approach the expected Poisson distribution, suggesting that some of the duplicated regions were subjected to additional duplications in the course of evolution.
