Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Conservative" in statistical terms means tending to underestimate the true value. A more conservative measure of proportion of variance would give a smaller value than the actual proportion of variance. In comparison, partial measures tend to be less conservative and more accurate. Therefore, the statement in the question is true.
