to guess the cost, amount, or level of something:
Future costs stemming from those lawsuits have been pegged as high as $8 billion.

Examples of peg

peg
It is assumed that the peg is infinitely rigid, and thus, deformation appears on the cart side only.
This shows that dual pegs fall into dual holes during the assembly process.
Finally, an experiment of a dual peg-in-hole is presented.
The feet have five toes each and rest on a ring below which extends a 16.5 cm long cylindrical peg base.
Each foot has five toes, and below the feet is a conical peg base 6 cm long.
Knees are shown but no depiction of feet; the legs end in a ring below which is a round peg base 8 cm long.
The feet have four toes each, and below the feet extends a 2.5 cm-long peg base.
The peg was slowly moved downward and the random contact sequence was implemented.
The robot grasps the peg and moves it at the default speed to a point 30 mm above its destination.
Besides, an application of peg-in-hole insertion task using this interface with a virtual haptic environment is shown.
We assign non-parallelism of converging pegs to have a negative value, and of diverging pegs to have a positive value.
Second, instead of devaluing the dinar in the 1980s, leaders arbitrarily pegged it to a basket of convertible currencies.
To overcome this problem the authors suggested the application of small motions of the peg around the contact point.
The mobility of the ensemble of pegs could then be determined by considering each of the single pegs.
After exploring the geometry of the problem, we analyze the forces and moments applied to the pegs by assuming quasi-static conditions.
