Calculate Coefficient of Variation

Source: R/cv.R
cv.Rd

Computes the coefficient of variation (CV), by dividing the standard deviation (SD) by the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers. If na_rm is TRUE then missing values are removed before calculation is completed

Usage

cv(x, na_rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x

(numeric) vector of numbers for which to calculate CV

na_rm

(logical) whether to remove missing values from both average and SD calculation

Value

(numeric) coefficient of variation

Examples

# Convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius
cv(x = c(4, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5), na_rm = TRUE)
#> [1] 0.1557461
