Troubleshooting
Problem
I would like SPSS to display the coefficient of variation (CV) for a variable in my active data file. The CV for variable X is the ratio of the standard deviation (SD) of X to the mean of X. I do not see this option under any of the descriptive statistics procedures. I see that there is a COMPUTE function called CFVAR that will compute the CV across a set of variables for each case. However, I want the CV for one variable across cases. How can I request this CV in SPSS?
