Mathematically, the first vector is the oblique projection of the data vector onto the subspace spanned by the vector of 1's. The 1 degree of freedom is the dimension of this subspace. The second residual vector is the least-squares projection onto the (n − 1)-dimensional orthogonal complement of this subspace, and has n − 1 degrees of freedom.
The subscript 1 indicates that this particular chi-squared distribution is constructed from only 1 standard normal distribution. A chi-squared distribution constructed by squaring a single standard normal distribution is said to have 1 degree of freedom.
For the statistic t, with ν degrees of freedom, A(t | ν) is the probability that t would be less than the observed value if the two means were the same (provided that the smaller mean is subtracted from the larger, so that t ≥ 0). It can be easily calculated from the cumulative distribution function F ν (t) of the t distribution:
The term involving the product of X 1 and X 2 is a coupling term that describes an interaction between the two degrees of freedom. For i from 1 to N, the value of the i th degree of freedom X i is distributed according to the Boltzmann distribution. Its probability density function is the following:
If X 1 and X 2 are independent chi-squared random variables with ν 1 and ν 2 degrees of freedom respectively, then (X 1 /ν 1)/(X 2 /ν 2) is an F(ν 1, ν 2) random variable. If X is a standard normal random variable and U is an independent chi-squared random variable with ν degrees of freedom, then X ( U / ν ) {\displaystyle {\frac {X ...
Here is one based on the distribution with 1 degree of freedom. Suppose that X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} are two independent variables satisfying X ∼ χ 1 2 {\displaystyle X\sim \chi _{1}^{2}} and Y ∼ χ 1 2 {\displaystyle Y\sim \chi _{1}^{2}} , so that the probability density functions of X {\displaystyle X} and Y ...
In these formulae, n i − 1 is the number of degrees of freedom for each group, and the total sample size minus two (that is, n 1 + n 2 − 2) is the total number of degrees of freedom, which is used in significance testing. The minimum detectable effect (MDE) is: [25]
Pearson dealt first with the case in which the expected numbers m i are large enough known numbers in all cells assuming every observation x i may be taken as normally distributed, and reached the result that, in the limit as n becomes large, X 2 follows the χ 2 distribution with k − 1 degrees of freedom.
