 R2 .13 .04

The coefficient of variation (CV) shows how much variation there is relative to the mean and is calculated as the variable’s standard deviation divided by its mean value. H0 for CV is that variation does not exceed chance variation. p value is proportion of expected values under H0 with values equal to, or above, observed value from 10,000 trials. Models 4 and 5 are weighted by participants in MoBa. R2 from fractional regression models with diagnosis as response and symptom levels as explanatory variable
