Estimator and Tests for Coefficient of Variation in Uniform Distribution

Abstract

Jamal Hoseini

Coefficient of variation has been widely used as a measure of precision of measurement equipment in particular for medical laboratories. The objective of this paper is to Inference for the coefficient of variation in uniform distributions. By using the two approaches of central limit theorem and generalized variable, confidence interval for coefficient of variation are considered. The coverage properties of the proposed confidence intervals for proposed two methods are assessment by simulation. An example using data of the approved metrological company from Iran Standard and Industrial Researches Organization is provided.
