7.4 Estimating a Population Mean
... The number of degrees of freedom for a collection of sample data is the number of sample values that can vary after certain restrictions have been imposed on all data values. The degree of freedom is often abbreviated df. Degrees of freedom = n – 1 will be used in this section. Example: If the sum o ...

A noticeable feature is the fact that the random walks observations really “walk randomly” across a wide range of values. In contrast, the white noise process with standard deviation 1 oscil ...
