How is Variance Measured in Toxicological Research?
Variance is typically measured using statistical tools that quantify the spread of data points around the mean. Common methods include:
Standard deviation: This measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. Coefficient of variation: This expresses the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean, allowing for comparison between datasets with different units or means. Analysis of variance (ANOVA): A statistical method used to compare means among different groups and to assess the influence of one or more factors on a dependent variable.
