The phrase "approximate explanation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when you want to describe an explanation that is not exact but gives a general idea or understanding of a concept.
Example: "The scientist provided an approximate explanation of the complex theory, making it easier for the students to grasp the main ideas."
Alternatives: "rough explanation" or "general explanation".
One possible explanation for this behaviour is that physicians only have an approximate knowledge of drug prices.
Pick your approximate dates.
A 20% increase in IGFBP4, as is consistent with the effects of E-alone and E+P on IGFBP4, projects an odds ratio (95% CI) of 1.40 (1.85, 1.85) in these analyses, suggesting that this marker could contribute importantly to a mechanistic explanation for the approximate 40% higher incidence of stroke among E-alone and E+P users in the WHI randomized trial [ 3, 4].
This enables us to compare the particle simulations and the approximate analytical solution and offer an explanation of the late time discrepancies.
One has the impression that Heyting in his explanation of Ex Falso tries to approximate as closely as possible the explanation for ordinary implications in terms of a concrete constructive connection between antecedent and consequent; this is even clearer in the explanation he would give of Ex Falso in 1956 (see section 5.4 below).
After all, granting the use of abduction does nothing to ensure that the best explanation of the success of scientific methodology is the approximate truth of the relevant background theories.
An explanation for the good performance of the CRB for approximate periodicity can be constructed along similar lines to that for Fourier-based methods in the periodicity degradation simulations above, since CRB is also Fourier-based.
Some think that abduction warrants an inference only to the probable truth of the best explanation, others that it warrants an inference only to the approximate truth of the best explanation, and still others that it warrants an inference only to the probable approximate truth.
