gcv_convert function

Convert geometric variance or standard deviation to a geometric coefficient of variation

The equation used is: 100*sqrt(exp(gvar)-1)

gcv_convert(gvar = gsd^2, gsd)

Arguments

• gvar: The geometric variance (note that this is the variance not a vector of values to compute the gcv from)
• gsd: The geometric standard deviation

Returns

Geometric coefficient of variation

Examples

gcv_convert(0.2)
gcv_convert(gsd=0.2)
