This function calculates the modified coefficient of variation (CV) based on a (unmodified) CV. The modified CV is calculated based on the rules in CMH-17-1G. Those rules are:
For CV < 4\%, CV* = 6\%
For 4\% <= CV < 8\%, CV* = CV / 2 + 4\%
For CV > 8\%, CV* = CV
calc_cv_star(cv)
The value of the modified CV
