Description This function calculates the coefficient of variation for each gene in the qPCR experiment, and returns the average coefficient of variation across all genes.

An approximate confidence interval is proposed for a robust measure of relative dispersion—the coefficient of quartile variation. The proposed method provides an alternative to interval estimates for other measures of relative dispersion. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Through the application and use of geospatial data, this study aimed to detect and characterize some of the key environmental drivers contributing to landscape-scale vegetation response patterns in Central Asia. The objectives of the study were to identify the variables driving the year-to-year vegetation dynamics in three regional landscapes (desert, steppe, and mountainous); and to determine ...

recognition of soil water infiltration process is essential for improving irrigation efficiency, decreasing water losses and management of surface runoff. the aim of this research was to evaluate temporal variation of the kostiakove-louise infiltration coefficient parameters during a corn growing season. in this research, 16 irrigation events for 8 large scale furrow experiments were analyzed b...

A procedure for non-invasive imaging of the optical attenuation coefficient variation of in vivo thick organs/tissues is developed. The laser back-scattered surface profiles at various locations of human forearm, by multi-probe reflectometer, are measured. These profiles are matched by iterative procedure, with that as obtained by Monte Carlo simulation and the corresponding values of attenuati...

in this study, the number of 1802 longevity records of ewes collected during 1989 to 2010 in breeding station of lori-bakhtiari sheep flocks were used to estimate of genetic, environmental and phenotypic trends for economic lifetime. the breeding values of a ewe’s lifetime were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood procedure under an animal model of univariate analysis. the best linear unb...

In the common nonparametric regression model Yi = m(Xi) + σ(Xi) i we consider the problem of testing the hypothesis that the coefficient of the scale and location function is constant. The test is based on a comparison of the observations Yi/σ̂(Xi) with their mean by a smoothed empirical process, where σ̂ denotes the local linear estimate of the scale function. We show weak convergence of a cente...
