iqr
interquartile range
Calling Sequence
q=iqr(x) q=iqr(x,'r') (or, equivalently, q=iqr(x,1)) q=iqr(x,'c') (or, equivalently, q=iqr(x,2))
Arguments
- x
- real or complex vector or matrix 
Description
This function computes  the interquartile range IQR= upper
            quartile - lower  quartile of a  vector or a  matrix x.
For a vector  or  a matrix x  , q=iqr(x)
            returns in the scalar q the interquartile range of
            all the entries of x.
q=iqr(x,'r')   (or, equivalently, 
            q=iqr(x,1)) is  the  rowwise interquartile range.  It  returns in
            each entry  of the row vector  q the interquartile
            range of each column of x.
q=iqr(x,'c') (or,  equivalently, 
            q=iqr(x,2)) is the columnwise  interquartile range. It returns in
            each     entry of  the    column  vector  q the
            interquartile range of each row of x.
