Coefficient of Variation
The result obtained when a distribution's standard deviation is divided by its mean. The calculation is used as a "relative measure" – i.e., comparing the variation in a data set's dispersion to its mean by expressing the result as a percentage of the same units of measurement as those of the original data.
