Null result

In science, a null result is a result without the expected content: that is, the proposed result is absent. It is an experimental outcome which does not show an otherwise expected effect. This does not imply a result of zero or nothing, simply a result that does not support the hypothesis. In statistical hypothesis testing, a null result occurs when an experimental result is not significantly different from what is to be expected under the null hypothesis; its probability (under the null hypothesis) does not exceed the significance level, i.e., the threshold set prior to testing for rejection of the null hypothesis. The significance level varies, but common choices include 0.10, 0.05, and 0.01. As an example in physics, the results of the Michelson–Morley experiment were of this type, as it did not detect the expected velocity relative to the postulated luminiferous aether. This experiment's famous failed detection, commonly referred to as the null result, contributed to the development of special relativity. The experiment did appear to measure a non-zero "drift", but the value was far too small to account for the theoretically expected results; it is generally thought to be inside the noise level of the experiment.

Null space of a matrix example

In today's lecture I work through an example to show you a well-known pitfall when it comes to the null space of a matrix. In the example I show you how to create the special cases and how to use them to represent the null space. There is also a quick look at the NullSpace function in Ma

Empty Graph, Trivial Graph, and the Null Graph | Graph Theory

Whenever we talk about something that is defined by sets, it is important to consider the empty set and how it fits into the definition. In graph theory, empty sets in the definition of a particular graph can bring on three types/categories of graphs. The empty graphs, the trivial graph, a

Null space of a matrix

In this video I start to discuss the idea of the null space of a matrix. In these situations, the right-hand side of all the equations in the linear system is equal to zero. There is the trivial solution, where all the elements of the solution is zero. We are more interested in the spec

A Better Way to Think About P-Values

If you have ever read a scientific news article or press release that made a claim about the probability of getting such a result “by chance,” then most likely you have been misled. In this video, I explore the relationship between p-values, the actual rate of false alarms, and various oth

Rank Nullity Theorem

Proof of the Rank-Nullity Theorem, one of the cornerstones of linear algebra. Intuitively, it says that the rank and the nullity of a linear transformation are related: the more vectors T sends to 0, the smaller its range. The proof is especially elegant and uses important concepts in line
