You can use it to describe when there is a small change or difference from what is expected or typical. For example, "The average temperature measured a modest deviation from the seasonal forecast."

Mean FFT across populations was lower than 0.1, suggesting modest deviation from random mating due to individual populations.
We found a borderline significant quadratic association for chronic liver disease, but graphing the results showed only a modest deviation from linearity (data not shown).
Last, the evidence of modest deviation (p = 0.04) from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium in the control US White population suggests that this variant may be under selection consistent with our hypothesis of selective pressure on genes involved in human parturition.
The meta-analysis of stage 1 discovery genome scans of macronutrient intake showed modest deviation from the expected distribution of P values under the null hypothesis, particularly for protein intake (see Supplemental Figure S1 under "Supplemental data" in the online issue).
The precise estimate of the change in mortality rate might be less certain in this case due to the fact that the proportional hazards assumption underlying the CoxPH model is rejected (P-value < 10−15) and a modest deviation from the assumption (r = 0.17) is detected.
Second, using this formalism, we have shown for three mammalian lineages (human, mouse and rat) that the variance in the rates for divergence in different gene triplets is not large enough to greatly overdisperse the f2 metric and can be fit by a model that assumes a modest deviation from a model of gene-invariant transition rate constants.

Comparisons between the experimental and theoretical cure parameters based on the autocatalytic model show good agreements up to about 80% conversion (where the reaction is kinetically controlled), but beyond that region modest deviations are observed.
NBA games exhibit a similar pattern to CFB games, but the crossover point occurs at the end of period 3, rather than at period 2. These modest deviations suggest the presence of still other non-ideal processes governing the scoring dynamics, particularly in NHL games.
However, many questions remain unanswered, particularly as to what specific mechanisms generate the modest deviations from the basic patterns that we observe in each sport, and how exactly teams exerting such great efforts against each other can conspire to produce gameplay so reminiscent of simple stochastic processes.
