Norwegian term or phrase: N, mean, median,Cvi,CVm, CVt, SD
This is an extract from a tender translation. The terms appear as follows "Laboratoriesystemet skal ha funksjonalitet for beregning av N, mean, median,Cvi, CVm, CVt, SD på kontroller og pasientprøver." Initially, I assumed they were Norwegian statistical acronymns (because of mean and median but can find nothing to back this up for Cvi, CVm, CVt, SD.
