ON the issue of mergers, experts said that the Clinton administration was fairly lenient, using the same standards that existed under Presidents Reagan and Bush.
There followed a clampdown on immigration, the tightening of the country's signature lenient drug-use policy, and the nationalist table-thumping of Dutch ministers at recent euro-zone crisis summits.The Netherlands seemed to have turned away from its long-standing reputation as a country of pro-European pragmatists.
The horizontal dashed line represents the statistical-significance level where p = 0.01 (an uncorrected lenient level, used to error on the side of inclusion).
We choose the standard scoring procedure in the action memory literature [ 10, 49], where strict scoring is used for the nouns (exact matches were required) and lenient scoring is used for verbs (where non-exact matches are scored as correct).
Luther was not a lenient parent — he used the whip when he felt he needed to, and poor Hans was sent to the university at the age of seven — but when, on his travels, the reformer passed through a town that was having a fair he liked to buy presents for the children.
That standard "is much more lenient" than those used by most scientific journals, Ginsparg says.
This difference was not statistically significant when lenient grading was used (t [76] = 1.29, p = .20).20
When lenient grading was used, the correlation was significant before removing outliers (r = −.30, t [147] = 3.86, p < .001) but was not significant when outliers more than 2 SD away from the mean were excluded (r = −0.15, t [136] = 1.78, p = .08).08
Using lenient comparison, lexical-based NERs score much higher on precision (between 89.8% and 92.1%).
While using lenient P-value thresholds might well improve the overlap, it might also produce many false positives.
