In mathematics, in the study of statistical properties of [[Graph (mathematics)|graphs]], the '''null model''' is a graph which matches one specific graph in some of its structural features, but which is otherwise taken to be an instance of a [[random graph]]. The null model is used as a term of comparison, to verify whether the graph in question displays some feature, such as community structure, or not.
