The value of the
relative standard deviation
, expressed in percent
. It can be calculated from the relative standard deviation
by multiplying by 100. Comment: It is recommended that the 'relative standard deviation
' be reported, rather than the 'percentage standard deviation
', in order to avoid confusion where results themselves are expressed as percentages. The term 'coefficient
of variation' in place of 'relative standard deviation
' is not recommended.
