The phrase "a less stringent threshold" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing criteria or standards that are not as strict or demanding as others.
Example: "The new policy establishes a less stringent threshold for eligibility, allowing more applicants to qualify."
Alternatives: "a more lenient standard" or "a relaxed criterion".
We found evidence for an additive effect of 5-HTT TPH2 genotype, which was most robust in the putamen, a region rich in both 5-HTT and TPH2 protein, but was also observed in the amygdala at a less stringent threshold, and in other cortical regions.
A larger list of all overrepresented terms and pathways with a less stringent threshold (uncorrected P<0.01) is shown in Tables S1 and S2.
This implied a stricter criterion for some visual areas, and a less stringent threshold for others; nevertheless, V1 was still the only area that showed consistent masking effects across participants.
We thus preferred a less stringent threshold.
We employed a less stringent threshold (P < 0.1) because of the limited samples for certain drugs.
Therefore, if we used a less stringent threshold value of >25%, this serum could be considered positive for WNV antibodies.
Even when a less-stringent threshold value (ln(p) < −7.4) is used that identifies four times as many putative KR binding sites in the BX-C, the IAB5 and IAB2 enhancers are depleted in sites (Table S3 and Figure 1C).
However, if we use GWAMA summary statistics and evaluate our risk scores in cohorts that have been used in the GWAMA study, then we need to be careful with the interpretation of our estimate of the prediction accuracy, especially if we are using denser risk scores resulting from applying a less-stringent threshold for selecting SNPs.
Using a slightly less stringent threshold (< 2.5 mmol/l) we found little difference in the numbers developing hypoglycaemia (22/283, 8%) on new regimen compared to (103/954, 11%) on the old regimen (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: [0.43 - 1.12], P = 0.14).
Upon further review of the SNVMix2 positions predicted at 10×, but not at 40×, we examined that the majority (9 out of 13) were marginally below threshold and significant probability mass was indeed on the P ab) state (>0.99) and would have been predicted with even a slightly less stringent threshold.
After the first clustering step a second and less stringent threshold of 0.6 is applied to further merge acquired groups that have at least one GO term in common.
