Collocations with approximation

These are words often used in combination with approximation.

Click on a collocation to see more examples of it.

close approximation
In this context it should be understood that the model cannot identically copy the referent completely-it can only be a close approximation.
closest approximation
The closest approximation of this circumstance in monolingual language production is the existence of synonym pairs such as sofa and couch.
crude approximation
As a crude approximation though, one may simply observe the differences in potential energies at various points along the central pore axis.
good approximation
This is especially true if the partial trajectory is a good approximation to local stationarity.
linear approximation
The performance of linear projection procedure depends on the precision of linear approximation, while that of thresholding depends on that of nonlinear approximation.
reasonable approximation
For a variable cluster size, a reasonable approximation for m is the average cluster size.
rough approximation
We therefore believe that our amplitude equation gives only a relatively rough approximation to the threshold amplitude.
successive approximation
Differential reinforcement through a process of successive approximation shapes behavioral operant response classes from this population of behavioral variants.
useful approximation
Clearly, this is an idealization, which is at best a useful approximation to the behaviour of an outcrossing natural population.
