| Data edit - The process of examining recorded data to ensure that each element of data is reasonable and is consistent with others recorded for the same object, such as a parcel of real estate.

| Degrees of freedom - (d.f.) The number of values, in a set of observations, that could be assigned arbitrarily within the specification of a system. For example, in stratifying a sample on n objects into k strata, there are k-1 degrees of freedom, because, if k-1 frequencies are specified, the other is determined by the total size n. Term is used in statistics in several slightly different senses but it is important primarily only in connection with a certain aspect of inferential statistics, where it becomes a means of relating the value of a statistic calculated from a sample to a table of critical values of or such statistics calculated for a wide range of potential sample sizes and amounts of information determined by the particular statistic of interest. |
