    The following table defines the possible outcomes when testing multiple null hypotheses. Suppose we have a number m of null hypotheses, denoted by: H 1, H 2, ..., H m. Using a statistical test, we reject the null hypothesis if the test is declared significant. We do not reject the null hypothesis if the test is non-significant.

  9. Branch table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table

    Given such data, a branch table can be extremely efficient. It usually consists of the following 3 steps: optionally validating the input data to ensure it is acceptable (this may occur without cost as part of the next step, if the input is a single byte and a 256 byte translate table is used to directly obtain the offset below).
