DF = 2 – 1 = 1. THIS IS A BIT
BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS
MODEL, WHICH HAS ONE DATUM
POINT AND NO DEGREE OF
FREEDOM. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL
UNDESIRABLE.
IF DF = 1 AND THE FIT IS PERFECT,
THERE IS NO ROOM (FREEDOM)
FOR OTHER PLAUSIBLE ALTERNATE
MODELS. AGAIN, THIS MODEL IS
“ALWAYS RIGHT” AND CANNOT BE
FALSIFIED.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
THE RIGHT ANSWER IS “NONE.” IN A NULL MODEL, THE NUMBER OF PARAMETERS
TO ESTIMATE IS 
ZERO
. THE EXPECTED Y SCORE IS EQUAL TO THE MEAN OF Y.
THERE IS NO BETA WEIGHT (REGRESSION COEFFICIENT OR SLOPE) TO BE
ESTIMATED.

Exploring the concept of degrees of freedom in statistical modeling, this presentation discusses the importance of having adequate degrees of freedom for model fitting and interpretation. It compares different models with varying degrees of freedom, illustrating how a null model with zero parameters to estimate can provide valuable insights in statistical analysis. The visuals provided enhance the understanding of these complex statistical concepts.
