intercuartílico

Intercuartílico refers to the space between the first and third quartiles of a dataset in statistics. It is a measure of the spread of the data, specifically the range within which the middle 50% of the data points fall. The first quartile (Q1) is the median of the first half of the dataset, and the third quartile (Q3) is the median of the second half. The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated as the difference between Q3 and Q1 (IQR = Q3 - Q1). This measure is particularly useful in identifying outliers and understanding the variability of the data, as it is less affected by extreme values compared to the range. The IQR is often used in box plots to visualize the distribution of data and to detect potential outliers.
