This paper provides a framework that facilitates comparison of "generalized" mean-coefficient of variation analysis with other risk analysis procedures. The authors demonstrate correspondence between ...

Overview: What Is a Pooled Standard Deviation? The definition of the standard deviation is the average distance each data point is away from the mean of the data. It is a measure of the variation ...

This article presents an analysis of the small-sample distribution of a class of approximate pivotal quantities for a normal coefficient of variation that contains the approximations of McKay, David, ...

Determination There are several practical ways to calculate the mean and standard deviation. Scientific calculators typically come with a built-in program for both the mean and standard deviation.
