I'm analyzing a number of various processes,
trying to find the one that consistently results in
the highest outcome. Below is a subset of
results. Case Mean StDev SEMean Q1 Median Q3 SSQ SkewnessKurtosis CV My tentative hunch is to use the last column
--- Coefficient of Variation --- as the over-riding criterion. Thus case
number 1 is the best.
The first-impression-approach of simply
using the highest Mean, case number 9, would appear to be a grave mistake, as
the dispersion of outcome is so great.
Please comment on the above thinking.
Do you agree? Or am I disregarding something important?
Thank you for your time and
attention.
