Degrees of Freedom (a.k.a. df): df = # data points - # parameters estimated (or constraints) dftotal = a*n – 1, where “a” = #groups, & “n” = #subjects in each group dfbetw = a-1 dfw/in = a(n-1) • Just like: SStotal= Ssbetw + Sswithin, • dftotal= dfbetw + dfwithin. • And show that algebraically. And add interaction etc.
