This page is a form for calculating a one-sided upper confidence bound on the
coefficient of variation associated with a normal distribution.
We
also have programs that do the following:
The theory behind these programs is described in three publications:
-
Confidence Bounds for Normal and Lognormal Distribution Coefficients of Variation,
2003, Research Paper 609, USDA Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin.
-
Confidence Bounds and Hypothesis Tests
for Normal Distribution Coefficients of Variation,
2007, Research Paper 638, USDA Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wisconsin.
- Verrill, S. and Johnson, R.A. (2007). "Confidence Bounds and
Hypothesis Tests for Normal Distribution Coefficients of Variation."
Communications in Statistics -- Theory and Methods, Volume 36,
Number 12, pages 2187-2206.
