The standard deviation of a random variable divided by the mean.

The ratio of a set of observations’ standard deviation to the observations’ mean value.Synonyms: CV

Measure of the reproducibility or repeatability of a method. It is the standard deviation expressed as a percentage of the mean. The term is synonymous with relative standard deviation.

Used as a measure of experimental variation. It is important that a linear value is used to calculate the CV (but not Ct values which are logarithmic).

Coefficient of variation, or CV, is a statistical measurement of the distribution of responses around the mean of those values. The CV is only applicable for values which come from a gaussian distributed population. It is derived by dividing the standard deviation of the replicate adjusted or normalized response measurements by the mean of the repl [..]

The ratio of the standard deviation of an estimate to the value of the estimate.

The ratio of the standard deviation of an estimate to the value of the estimate.

Standardized measure of the risk per unit of return; calculated as the standard deviation divided by the expected return.

The coefficient of variation is a measure of the variation in a variable. It is calculated as the standard deviation of the variable divided by the mean of the variable. If the coefficient of variatio [..]

The standard deviation divided by the mean.

A measure of dispersion calculated by dividing the standard deviation of a distribution divided by its mean. The standard error of an estimate, expressed as a ratio or percentage of the estimate.

The standard deviation of the estimates, for the period indicated, expressed as a percent of the mean estimate.

A dimensionless measure of relative variability, designed to allow comparisons of variation for samples with different average sizes, calculated as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean mult [..]

A statistical representation of the precision of a test. The function: standard deviation / mean x 100%.

An attribute of a distribution: its standard deviation divided by its mean. Example: In a series of wage distributions over time, the standard deviation may rise over time with inflation, but the coef [..]

The standard deviation of the estimates, for the period indicated, expressed as a percent of the mean estimate.

The standard deviation as a percent of the arithmetic mean.

The coefficient of variation is a relative measure of the dispersion of data points around the mean. Calculated as the ratio of the standard deviation divided by the mean expressed as a percentage, th [..]

  The ratio of the standard deviation of a distribution to the mean of that distribution. It is a measure of relative risk. [Chapters 5 and 14] *Commercial paper

A measure of investment risk that defines risk as the standard deviation per unit of expected return.
