The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of statistical dispersion that represents the range within which the central 50% of a data set lies. It is calculated by subtracting the first quartile (Q1) from the third quartile (Q3). The IQR is useful for identifying outliers and understanding the spread of the middle half of the data, making it particularly valuable in box plots and other data visualizations. It provides a clearer picture of variability than the range, as it is less affected by extreme values.
