+In physics and statistics, degrees of freedom (DOF) describe the number of independent parameters that define a system's state, or the number of values in a data set that are free to vary. Each independent motion or variable contributes to this count, essential for analyzing [Statistical Models](/wiki/statistical_models) and [Mechanical Systems](/wiki/mechanical_systems).
