    Confusion on application of definition of degrees of freedom

    I am confused about the counting of degrees of freedom. Yes, I know that it is the number of vectors which are free to vary. But that definition gives way to different interpretations: (1) the number of data points minus the number of independent variables. This seems to be the basis of the...
