Significance Tests for Coefficients of Variation and Variability Profiles
Abstract
Significance tests for coefficients of variation and variability profiles. Syst. Zool. 29:50–66 .—The distribution of sample estimates of the coefficient of variation is studied analytically and by Monte Carlo simulation. Derivations are given for the expected value of a coefficient of variation and for its standard error. Various proposed standard errors for coefficients of variation are evaluated. Standard errors are derived for differences between coefficients of variation for samples of independent and correlated characters. Methods are proposed for testing the homogeneity of sets of independent and correlated coefficients of variation. Tests of homogeneity of variability profiles as well as for parallelism of such profiles are furnished.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
