About Relative Standard Deviation
Relative Standard Deviation (RSD), also known as the Coefficient of Variation (CV), is a standardized measure of dispersion that describes the variability of data relative to its mean. It's particularly useful when comparing datasets with different units or vastly different means.
Key Features:
- Expressed as a percentage
- Independent of the unit of measurement
- Allows comparison between different datasets
- Commonly used in analytical chemistry and quality control
Formula:
RSD = (Standard Deviation / Mean) × 100%
