         (k - 1)

where k stands for the number of samples.

 

DOF for Denominator

 

For the calculation of the number of DOF in the denominator, the number of elements within each sample play an important role. In each of the samples, we lose the discretion for specifying the last element. A general rule to find the number of DOF for the denominator is given by
