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.
Statistical significance is computed as: where S is the standard error, x 1 is the first estimate, and x 2 is the second estimate. The result of this computation is to be multiplied by 1.96 and, if this result is less than the difference between the two estimates, the difference is statistically significant.he standard error is a measure of the reliability or precision of the survey statistic. The value for the standard error can be used to construct confidence intervals and to perform hypothesis tests by standard statistical methods.
