If you have used the data to estimate one parameter then you would use n-1. If two parameters, then n-2.

What is the degree of freedom of a man climbing a spiral staircase?

The man's freedom depends on the dimensions of the staircase and the clothes he is wearing, plus any other encumbrances. For example, if the staircase is too tight to move in, or if he is straightjacketed and chained to the banister, his degree of freedom is zero. If the staircase is spacious enough for him to jump around in, he has at least three degrees of freedom for linear motion, and at least three for rotational motion. If he possesses the power of time travel or passage through other dimensions, he will have still more degrees of freedom. All of these may be curtailed by political influences, however.
