cvv_manual {multid}R Documentation

Coefficient of variance variation from manual input sample sizes and variance estimates

Description

Calculates three different indices for variation between two or more variance estimates. VR = Variance ratio between the largest and the smallest variance. CVV = Coefficient of variance variation (Box, 1954). SVH = Standardized variance heterogeneity (Ruscio & Roche, 2012).

Usage

cvv_manual(sample_sizes, variances)

Arguments

sample_sizes

Numeric vector of length > 1. Sample sizes used for each variance estimate.

variances

Numeric vector of length > 1. Variance estimates.

Value

A vector including VR, CVV, and SVH.
