The phrase "approximation of the next" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts where you are discussing estimates or predictions related to a subsequent item or event, but it lacks clarity.
Example: "The approximation of the next value in the sequence is crucial for our calculations."
Alternatives: "estimate of the next" or "prediction of the next".
A huge patch of ground near the Olympic village in east London had been transformed into a passable approximation of the 1955 Hill Valley town square in which Fox finds himself.
And then there was the 2004 version of Do They Know It's Christmas?, raising funds for Darfur by getting contemporary pop stars to do a weak approximation of the 1984 original, before tacking on a wildly misjudged rap from Dizzee Rascal just to make sure the whole endeavour was as awful as it could possibly be.
The IRI-2007 model also gives a high RMSE value, however, the corresponding normalized RMSE is equal to 0.211, which is the best approximation of the IRI-2007 model.
Note that f u (u, x) ≥ 0 is the linear approximation of the spring constant (infinitesimal with respect to x) of the elastic foundation at (u, x).
The classification scheme represents an approximation of the 2004 diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society (IHS) 17 for migraine with or without aura, which were formalised after the Reykjavik Study data were collected.

The "Agon," a close approximation of the original, 1957 production, in which Russell danced, differs from the current New York City Ballet version in both choreography (e.g., coda, first pas de trois) and style -- P.N.B. is faster, more detailed, more winsome.
In addition, let us introduce the empirical approximation of the criterion (19) as {J}_kleft(s/widehat{mathbf{W}}right)=frac{1}{k}{displaystyle sum_{i=1}^kFleft(frac{eleft i,widehat{mathbf{W}}right)}{s}right)} (21).
