Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research was conducted to propose a classification of the coefficient of variation (CV%) in many categories of variables of production and carcass of beef cattle experiments. The data was collected from theses and dissertations. We used the methods of classification considering mean and standard deviation, and considering median and pseudo-sigma. The two methods showed similar results so both can be used to classify CV%. We propose only three categories to rank CV%: low, medium and high.RESUMO: Neste trabalho propõe-se a classificação do coeficiente de variação (CV%) para diversas categorias de variáveis de produção e carcaça de experimentos com gado de corte. Os dados foram coletados de teses e dissertações. Foram empregados métodos de classificação considerando média e desvio padrão, e considerando mediana e pseudo-sigma. Os dois métodos mostraram resultados similares e ambos podem ser utilizados para classificar o CV%. Propõe-se, também, a classificação do CV% em apenas três categorias: baixo, médio e alto.
