Degrees of freedom

Authoring team

The number of degrees of freedom is the number of cells in a table than can be filled up independently of the totals in the margins and at the sides of the table.

As a rule of thumb the number of degrees of freedom is equal to:

(number of columns -1 ) x (number of rows - 1)
