Coefficient of Variation

Probability and Statistics

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.

Is Kind Of Object

Statistic, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
