intersections entre les intervalles de confiance et l'intervalle de l'hypothèse nulle

Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : roughly that, but "intersections" is too much off-center

disagree Helen Evans : I can find no instance of 'l'intervalle de l'hypothese null' and cannot make sense of the expression.

intervalles de confiance qui contiennent la valeur caracteristique de l'effet nul

I haven't found a shorter way of saying 'crossing the null' in French.

Of course, if it's an interval for a difference then you could opt for ''qui contiennent "'; or, if it's an interval for an odd ration then "qui contiennent 1"
Peer comment(s):

disagree Francois Boye : The null = the null hypothesis.

But 'crossing the null hypothesis' makes no sense, so here, surely, 'the null' must be taken to mean 'the hypothesised value', i.e. the value under the null hypothesis.
