I am trying to compute the gap analysis between female and males' math achievement.

In the edsurvey output, what does "dofAB" mean, does it mean degrees of freedom. In the output I have, it shows dofAB= 46.9006. May I know what it means?

Thank you

Use ?gap command to pull out the gap function description. @yaoyang1707 You should find your answer there.
