Sentence examples for modest approximation from inspiring English sources

The Knicks have finally become what they envisioned when he was hired: a modest approximation of D'Antoni's old Phoenix Suns, complete with 3-pointers, fast breaks and emphatic Stoudemire dunks.

Based on these findings, we determined that a classification consisting of 9 categories was sufficient to describe ambient air quality days because it has the benefit of providing a modest approximation of the original data (all R > 0.5 except SO2) and reasonable sample sizes (all day types > 100 days).

These curated figures, modest approximations relative to national projections, illustrate some of the costs associated with public higher education in the United States.

This is mainly a consequence of its modest complexity and robust approximation to the statistically optimal Karhunen-Loève transform [5], which allows to obtain implementations with good performance, both in terms of computation time and energy compaction.

A modest improvement on this approximation may be achieved by the extended Maxwell Garnett theory in which the full expansion of a 1 is used to calculate the polarizability [47].

Along with a detailed description of the underlying numerical method, it is shown that the SEM yields highly accurate numerical approximations at modest computational costs, which is in particular useful for optimization-based control applications.

Subject to some modest-to-strenuous approximations we compute the rates of ablation and deceleration, energy deposition, and terminal altitudes of the meteors as functions of their initial mass and bulk density, velocity, trajectory entry angle, drag coefficient, heat of ablation, and an ablation energy transfer fraction.

As a result, the l2-norm approximation has many modest residuals and relatively few larger ones, which generates smooth solutions and brings multipseudo sources to surround the true source in BLT reconstruction [ 22].

The procedure is shown to be capable of producing high accuracy numerical approximations with relatively modest numbers of unknowns.

Good approximation corresponds to very modest PPV, whereas the highest PPV was achieved at a much larger χ2 value with fewer links.

Instead, I'd make the more modest assertion that its odds of winning a third term are, on first approximation, 50-50.
