His political strategy is plausible: Play down Iowa and New Hampshire, win Florida on Jan . 29 and sweep the big states (New York, California, Illinois) on Feb. 5, securing the nomination before a social-conservative reaction can set in.
Then came Tom and Viv, an unusually plausible play about literary people, a tragedy on both sides of the Eliots' marital estrangement, with a really clever dramatic discussion of degrees, and indeed definitions, of madness.

Hughes Jones is an ardent, tremendously plausible suitor – played as an older man than usual, which makes Sachs's unrequited passion for Eva the more touching – while the object of their affections, Rachel Nicholls, gains in assurance as the evening goes on, and launches the third-act quintet with exactly the quiet intensity it needs.
Plausible values play a critical role in obtaining unbiased estimates of group-level descriptive statistics (averages, percentiles, etc)., as well as of regression coefficients in models of relationships between cognitive skills and background variables such as gender, educational attainment, and immigrant status (e.g. von Davier et al. 2009).
