The coefficient of variation (CV), also called normalized root-mean-square deviation or relative standard deviation (RSD), is a standardized measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution or frequency distribution. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, often expressed as a percentage, which allows dispersion to be compared across data sets with different units or widely different means.
