:<math>D = {\sigma^2 \over \mu }.</math>
It is also known as the '''[[Fano factor]],''' though this term is sometimes reserved for ''windowed'' data (the mean and variance are computed over a subpopulation), where the index of dispersion is the special case where the window is infinite. Windowing data is frequently done: the VMR is frequently computed over various intervals in time or small regions in space, which may be called "windows", and the resulting statistic called the Fano factor.
 
It is only defined when the mean <math>\mu</math> is non-zero, and is generally only used for positive statistics, such as [[count data]] or time between events, or where the underlying distribution is assumed to be the [[exponential distribution]] or [[Poisson distribution]].
 
== Terminology ==
In this context, the observed dataset may consist of the times of occurrence of predefined events, such as earthquakes in a given region over a given magnitude, or of the locations in geographical space of plants of a given species. Details of such occurrences are first converted into counts of the numbers of events or occurrences in each of a set of equal-sized time- or space-regions.
 
The above defines a ''dispersion index for counts''.<ref>Cox & Lewis (1966), p72</ref> A different definition applies for a ''dispersion index for intervals'',<ref>Cox & Lewis (1966), p71</ref> where the quantities treated are the lengths of the time-intervals between the events, and where the index is equivalent to the square of the [[coefficient of variation]] of the interval lengths. Common usage is that "index of dispersion" means the dispersion index for counts.
 
== Interpretation ==
Some distributions, most notably the [[Poisson distribution]], have equal variance and mean, giving them a VMR = 1. The [[geometric distribution]] and the [[negative binomial distribution]] have VMR > 1, while the [[binomial distribution]] has VMR < 1, and the [[constant random variable]] has VMR = 0. This yields the following table:
{|
! Distribution !! VMR !!
|-
| [[constant random variable]] || VMR = 0 || not dispersed
|-
| [[binomial distribution]] || 0 < VMR < 1 || under-dispersed
|-
| [[Poisson distribution]] || VMR = 1 ||
|-
| [[negative binomial distribution]] || VMR > 1 || over-dispersed
|}
 
This can be considered analogous to the classification of [[conic sections]] by [[Eccentricity (mathematics)|eccentricity]]; see [[Cumulant#Cumulants of some discrete probability distributions|Cumulants of particular probability distributions]] for details.
 
When the coefficient of dispersion is less than 1, a dataset is said to be "under-dispersed": this condition can relate to patterns of occurrence that are more regular than the randomness associated with a Poisson process. For instance, points spread uniformly in space or regular, periodic events will be under-dispersed.
 
If the index of dispersion is larger than 1, a dataset is said to be [[overdispersion|over-dispersed]]: this can correspond to the existence of clusters of occurrences. Clumped, concentrated data is over-dispersed.
 
In terms of the interval-counts, over-dispersion corresponds to there being more intervals with low counts and more intervals with high counts, compared to a Poisson distribution: in contrast, under-dispersion is characterised by there being more intervals having counts close to the mean count, compared to a Poisson distribution.
 
The relevance of the index of dispersion is that it has a value of one when the probability distribution of the number of occurrences in an interval is a [[Poisson distribution]]. Thus the measure can be used to assess whether observed data can be modeled using a [[Poisson process]].
 
A sample-based estimate of the dispersion index can be used to construct a formal [[statistical hypothesis testing| statistical hypothesis test]] for the adequacy of the model that a series of counts follow a Poisson distribution.<ref>Cox & Lewis (1966), p158</ref><ref>Upton&Cook(2006), under index of dispersion</ref>
 
The VMR is a good measure of the degree of randomness of a given phenomenon. This technique is also commonly used in currency management.
 
== Example ==
For randomly diffusing particles ([[Brownian motion]]), the distribution of the number of particle inside a given volume is poissonian, i.e. VMR=1. Therefore, to assess if a given spatial pattern (assuming you have a way to measure it) is due purely to diffusion or if some particle-particle interaction is involved : divide the space into patches, Quadrats or Sample Units (SU), count the number of individuals in each patch or SU, and compute the VMR. VMRs significantly higher than 1 denote a clustered distribution, where random walk is not enough to smother the attractive inter-particle potential.
 
== Statistics ==
 
The first to discuss the use of a test to detect deviations from a Poisson or binomial distribution appears to have been Lexis in 1877. One of the tests he developed was the [[Lexis ratio]].
 
This index was first used in botany by [[Arthur Roy Clapham|Clapham]] in 1936.
 
If the variates are Poisson distributed then the index of dispersion is distributed as a χ<sup>2</sup> statistic with ''n'' - 1 degrees of freedom when ''n'' is large and is ''μ'' > 3.<ref name=Frome1982>{{cite journal |last=Frome |first=E. L. |year=1982 |title=Algorithm AS 171: Fisher's Exact Variance Test for the Poisson Distribution |journal=[[Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series C]]|volume=31 |issue=1 |pages=67–71 |jstor=2347079 }}</ref> For many cases of interest this approximation is accurate and Fisher in 1950 derived an exact test for it.
 
[[Paul G. Hoel|Hoel]] studied the first four moments of its distribution.<ref name=Hoel1943>{{cite journal |last=Hoel |first=P. G. |year=1943 |title=On Indices of Dispersion |journal=[[Annals of Mathematical Statistics]] |volume=14 |issue=2 |pages=155–162 |doi= |jstor=2235818 }}</ref> He found that the approximation to the χ<sup>2</sup> statistic is reasonable if ''μ'' > 5.
