English term or phrase: critical ratio
Trata-se de um capítulo sobre estatística aplicada à Psicologia. Eis o contexto:
These examples suggest that the significance of a difference will depend on both the size of the obtained difference and the variability of the means being compared. From the standard error of the means, we can compute the standard error of the difference between two means, sDM. We can then evaluate the obtained difference by using a critical ratio – the ratio of the obtained difference
between the means DM to the standard error of the difference.

taxa crítica ou relação crítica


Explanation:
Para não confundir, nesse caso que mistura psicologia com estatística diria assim:
taxa crítica ou relação crítica
(prefiro taxa crítica porque não dá margem à ambiguidade)

neutral  coolbrowne: A ponderação não deixa de ser razoável; poderia confundir um leigo. Contudo, "taxa" é mais restrito e "relação" é muito mais genérico. Nenhum dos dois tem a precisão de "razão".
