  Null hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When used, the null hypothesis is presumed true until statistical evidence in the form of a hypothesis test indicates otherwise.
For example, if the null hypothesis is that sample A is drawn from a population with the same mean as sample B, the alternative hypothesis is that they come from populations with different means, which can be tested with a two-tailed test of significance.
The formulation, testing, and rejection of null hypotheses is methodologically consistent with the falsificationist model of scientific discovery formulated by Karl Popper and widely believed to apply to most kinds of empirical research.

 Null
In computer programming, null is a special value for a pointer (or reference) that is used to signify that the pointer's target is not a valid data element.
In radio electronics, a null is an area or vector at which the signal from two or more of the antenna elements in an antenna system cancels out almost entirely.

 Null character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The null character (also null terminator) is a character with the value zero, present in the ASCII and Unicode character sets, and available in nearly all mainstream programming languages.
The main advantage of using a null character is that strings can be of any length, and only one character of additional storage is required.
In null-terminated strings, the first occurring null character is interpreted as the end of the string.

 Interpreting Null Results
Null hypothesis significance testing do not allow for conclusions about the likelihood that the null hypothesis is true, only whether it is unlikely that null is true.
Terms used throughout this paper are null hypothesis, parameter, Type I error, Type II error, power, rejecting the null hypothesis, and failing to reject the null hypothesis.
Null hypothesis significance tests do not provide estimates of the actual value of a parameter; only what the parameter is unlikely to be.

 PHP: NULL - Manual
The null type was introduced in PHP 4.
It treats NULL as the constant and unsets the variable.
Nulls are almost the same as unset variables and it is hard to tell the difference without creating errors from the interpreter:

 Statistics Glossary - hypothesis testing
This is due to the fact that the null hypothesis relates to the statement being tested, whereas the alternative hypothesis relates to the statement to be accepted if / when the null is rejected.
If we do not reject the null hypothesis, it may still be false (a type II error) as the sample may not be big enough to identify the falseness of the null hypothesis (especially if the truth is very close to hypothesis).
Presumably, we would want to test the null hypothesis against the first alternative hypothesis since it would be useful to know if there is likely to be less than 50 matches, on average, in a box (no one would complain if they get the correct number of matches in a box or more).

 A Critical Look at Gary Null's Activities and Credentials
Null says he holds an associate degree in business administration from Mountain State College in West Virginia, a bachelor's degree from Thomas A. Edison State College in New Jersey, and a PhD in human nutrition and public health sciences from The Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Null's thesis states that six others who began in the first group and five others who began in the second group dropped out of the study because they were uncomfortable.
Null noted that the theory behind the test "is still the subject of debate and has not yet gained wide scientific support"—which is a rather strange way to describe a test that is utterly worthless for any medical purpose and could never gain widespread scientific acceptance.

 Null equals undefined, but null doesnt strictly equal undefined - Flash Insider
Null is used to define a variable with no value or to define an empty set of values.
Also null evaluated to 0 in a numeric sense Undefined if used to explain that a variable has no value before a specific value has been assigned or even before the variable has been declared.
Null is equal to undefined in value, but not type so null is not strictly equal to undefined.

 AskTom "Null And Not Null"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Why did we Require to Assign Null to coloumn when we can assign NOT NULL with default Value 0; What is difference.
NULLs are optional - NULLs are used to represent "i don't know" 0 is a value NULL is the absence of a value - it is "nothing" You can chose to use 0 with NOT NULL and default the column -- if it makes sense.
Another difference is that null is not included in an index.

 10.4 Null Pointers
A function that returns pointer values can return a null pointer when it is unable to perform its task.
In general, C does not initialize pointers to null for you, and it never tests pointers to see if they are null before using them.
If one of the pointers in your programs points somewhere some of the time but not all of the time, an excellent convention to use is to set it to a null pointer when it doesn't point anywhere valid, and to test to see if it's a null pointer before using it.

There is a great deal more to finding null spaces; enough, in fact, to warrant another module.
One important aspect and use of null spaces is their ability to inform us about the uniqueness of solutions.

 Forum OpenACS Development: PgBindCmd turns the empty string into NULL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is the same problem I have in a function called obj__set_attrs, that checks if the passed in attribute is null, and if it isn't, it sets the attribute to the passed in value.
NULL and the empty string are both passed back as empty Tcl strings in the ns_set built by the drivers (ours and the sybase one written by the AOLserver team - actually, the PG driver was originally written by them, too, though bindvar emulation was added by Dan Wickstrom and me).
The empty string is NULL in Oracle so the suggestion to use undefined Tcl vars as a flag and the empty string as the empty string would introduce differences in behavior between the Oracle and PG version.

 INF: BCP and NULL Values
Although spaces in the input data file may seem to intuitively represent NULL, the ASCII space (0x20) is also a legitimate character, with possible significance.
The string "NULL" couldn't be properly written to the output file, because this would be a valid string, and upon input be loaded as the string "NULL," not the value NULL.
The only non-ambiguous way to represent NULL in character-mode BCP is by using two adjacent delimiters in a character-delimited file.

 RS232 serial null modem cable wiring and tutorial
The terminology null modem for the situation where two computers communicate directly is so often used nowadays, that most people don't realize anymore the origin of the phrase and that a null modem connection is an exception, not the rule.
This means that the null modem cable allows communication as long as no flow control is needed, but when data speeds reach the limit the receivers can handle, communication may stop immediately without an assignable reason.
The simple null modem cable and the null modem cable with loop back handshaking are useful, but have no provisions for hardware flow control.

 Diagnosing Java Code: The Null Flag bug pattern
As you might have guessed, I call this pattern the Null Flag bug pattern because it is caused by inconsistently using null pointers as flags for exceptional conditions.
Despite their common occurrence, the use of null flags is very often unwarranted (as in the case above).
The use of null flags, on the other hand, limits control flow to the ordinary paths of method invocation and return (until the whole program crashes, of course).

 Firebird Null Guide
In the table we don't write NULL in the expressions (as said, this is often illegal); instead, we use two entities A and B that are both NULL.
In these recent versions, NULL strings are “trimmed” to emptystrings - which is wrong, but is considered the lesser of two evils: in the old situation, valid (empty) strings were mercilessly reduced to NULLs.
If NULL needs special handling, like in the “right to vote” example used previously, your only option is to go for “if (MyExpression is null) then” after all.
