Description

The function calculates the univariate exponential variation index for a positive continuous random variable.

Usage

vi.fun(X)

Arguments

X

A positive continuous random variable

Value

Returns

vi

The exponential variation index

Details

vi.fun computes the univariate exponential variation index defined by Abid et al. (2020). See also Tour<U+00E9> et al. (2020) for more details on this index.
