Built-in way to compute coefficient of variation in pandas
Background
The coefficient of variation is:
defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean
Question
Is there a built-in function for this?
Tried
I know I can do df.std() / df.mean().
1 answer
There's very little information to go off of here but to me the built-in function you need is division which is already built in to any language. Unless you are unable to use df.std() / df.mean() for one reason or another, you could make a simple function yourself that divides the two numbers and returns the answer.
