Ron Hartong PhD (X) Nov 6, 2011:
I agree with Phil in the sense that a statement like 'a percent CV of less than 2%' is clumsy; it is much more common to say 'a CV of less than 2%'.

Apart from that, I find it a bit unusual to repeat an answer that was already given by somebody else, as happened here. If you want to add something to somebody else's answer, you can post a discussion entry or a reference entry.

Maybe a study can't, but (the results) of a test can.
philgoddard Nov 6, 2011:
Whichever answer is chosen, "a percentage change (or whatever) of 2 percent" is clumsy.
Also, we don't have enough context - "coeficiente de variación porcentual del ensayo" doesn't make sense. A study can't change by 2%.

percent coefficient of variation

The coefficient of variation (CV) is the ratio of the square root of the estimated variance (in other words the standard error) to the estimation (in other [...] eur-lex.europa.eueur-lex.europa.eu


a parameter used in comparing dispersion in distributions. It is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, i.e. sx/x̄. The coefficient of variation is an abstract number independent of the units of measurements; it may also be expressed as a percentage, i.e. 100sx/x̄.

relative standard measurement uncertainty

see entry 2.32 in the International vocabulary of metrology (VIM:2008) referenced. "Relative standard deviation" may also be applicable in this case, but "measurement uncertainty" is the current preferred term.
