Hi,
I generally know the concept of degrees of freedom based on the commonly used explanation about how using the average of a sample reduces the the avaialble choices by 1. For example, I generally understand what is explained here.
What is not clear to me is how having more choices for a value or freedom helps in a statistical procedure, say, the hypothesis testing or the regression.
Thanks.
