Steps for calculating the within-subject coefficient of variation

Steps Method for calculating wCV
1 Calculate the variance and mean for each of N subjects from their replicate measurements.
2 Calculate the wCV2 for each of the N subjects by dividing their variance by their squared mean.
3 Take the mean of the wCV2 over the N subjects.
4 Take the square root of the value in step 3 to get an estimate of the wCV.
