  2. Degrees of freedom (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom...

    In equations, the typical symbol for degrees of freedom is ν (lowercase Greek letter nu).In text and tables, the abbreviation "d.f." is commonly used. R. A. Fisher used n to symbolize degrees of freedom but modern usage typically reserves n for sample size.

  3. Degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom

    In many scientific fields, the degrees of freedom of a system is the number of parameters of the system that may vary independently. For example, a point in the plane has two degrees of freedom for translation: its two coordinates; a non-infinitesimal object on the plane might have additional degrees of freedoms related to its orientation.

  4. Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(physics...

    In physics and chemistry, a degree of freedom is an independent physical parameter in the chosen parameterization of a physical system.More formally, given a parameterization of a physical system, the number of degrees of freedom is the smallest number of parameters whose values need to be known in order to always be possible to determine the values of all parameters in the chosen ...

  5. Phase rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_rule

    The number of degrees of freedom F (also called the variance) is the number of independent intensive properties, i.e., the largest number of thermodynamic parameters such as temperature or pressure that can be varied simultaneously and independently of each other. [5] An example of a one-component system (C = 1) is a pure chemical.

  6. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)

    In physics, the degrees of freedom (DOF) of a mechanical system is the number of independent parameters that define its configuration or state. It is important in the analysis of systems of bodies in mechanical engineering, structural engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, and other fields.

  7. Studentized range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studentized_range

    has the Studentized range distribution for n groups and ν degrees of freedom. In applications, the x i are typically the means of samples each of size m, s 2 is the pooled variance, and the degrees of freedom are ν = n(m − 1). The critical value of q is based on three factors: α (the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis)

  8. Welch–Satterthwaite equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch–Satterthwaite_equation

    In statistics and uncertainty analysis, the Welch–Satterthwaite equation is used to calculate an approximation to the effective degrees of freedom of a linear combination of independent sample variances, also known as the pooled degrees of freedom, [1] [2] corresponding to the pooled variance.

  9. National qualifications framework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Qualifications...

    A national qualifications framework (NQF) is a formal system describing qualifications. 47 countries participating in the Bologna Process are committed to producing a national qualifications framework. Other countries not part of this process also have national qualifications frameworks.
