Lyric Lyric is a loosely defined term for a broad category of non-narrative, non-dramatic poetry, which was originally sung or recited with a musical instrument, called a lyre [see voice, sound]. Generally, lyric poets rely on personal experience, close relationships, and description of feelings as their material.t is perhaps no coincidence that a contemporary definition of lyric is the words of a popular song (OED), since in both poetry and music the words are illogically connected for sound not meaning. Drama has likewise had to redefine itself so that theatricality remains its essence (Fried; see objecthood).
Youâve heard it a million times, the idea is that if you have an estimate of .003 (on some reasonable scale in which 1 is a meaningful effect size) and a standard error of .001 then, yes, the estimate is statistically significant but itâs not practically significant.
In scientific studies, this is known as the p-value.. If it is unlikely enough that the difference in outcomes occurred by chance alone, the difference is pronounced statistically significant.. Mathematical probabilities like p-values range from 0 (no chance) to 1 (absolute certainty). So 0.5 means a 50 per cent chance and 0.05 means a 5 per cent chance. In most sciences, results yielding a p-value of .05 are considered on the borderline of statistical significance. If the p-value is under .01, results are considered statistically significant and if it's below .005 they are considered highly statistically significant.
