Quartile Deviation (QD)
The quartile deviation is half the difference between the upper and lower quartiles in a distribution. It is a measure of the spread through the middle half of a distribution. It can be useful because it is not influenced by extremely high or extremely low scores. Quartile Deviation is an ordinal statistic and is most often used in conjunction with the median.
why we calculating quartile deviation?
If the result is 1.5 x Inter Quartile Range (or more) above the Upper Quartile or 1.5 x Inter Quartile Range (or more) below the Lower Quartile.
you do work out the upper and lower quartile
values that divide a list of numbers into quaters is called a quartile.
It is the upper quartile minus the lower quartile.
The interquartile range :)
the interquartile is just subtracting the high quartile from the low quartile. * * * * * No, it is subtracting the lower quartile from the higher quartile.
Subtract the lower quartile from the upper quartile.
IQR = Inter Quartile RangeIQR = Inter Quartile RangeIQR = Inter Quartile RangeIQR = Inter Quartile Range
IQR = Inter-Quartile Range = Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile.
What is coefficient of quartile deviation?
The second quartile.
In a data sample, the purpose of quartile deviation is a way to measure data dispersion instead of using the range. The quartile deviation is found by subtracting the lower quartile from the upper quartile, and dividing this result by two.
A quartile is 1/4 or 25% of the total. So if you the population is 24 (say in a classroom), then a quartile is 6. Sort the grades lowest to highest, then the bottom 6 are in the lower quartile. The grade for #6 is the lower quartile.
The first quartile, or the lower quartile, is the value such that a quarter of the observations are smaller and three quarters are larger.The third quartile, or the upper quartile, is the value such that three quarters of the observations are smaller and a quarter are larger.
advantages of quartile deviation
A quartile of the population is poor
Use the QUARTILE function, specifying the data you want in an array, and use 3 to represent the upper quartile. Say your data is in the cells from A5 to A30, you would do it as follows: =QUARTILE(A5:A30,3)
