CV Compass: Navigating Data Variability with the Coefficient of Variation
About this episode
A practical dive into the coefficient of variation (CV): what it is, why it matters, and how to read it correctly. From investing risk to lab precision and archaeology, we unpack when CV is helpful, its limitations (especially near-zero means and unit issues), and alternatives like the quartile coefficient of dispersion.
