CS8075 DATA WAREHOUSING AND DATA MINING
Range, Quartiles, and Interquartile
Range
• Let x1,x2,...,xN be a set of observations for
some numeric attribute, X.
• The range of the set is the difference between
the largest (max()) and smallest (min()) values
• Suppose that the data for attribute X are
sorted in increasing numeric order. Imagine
that we can pick certain data points so as to
split the data distribution into equal-size
consecutive sets, as in Figure
Examples
• 75, 69, 56, 46, 47, 79, 92, 97, 89, 88, 36, 96, 105, 32, 116,
101, 79, 93, 91, 112
• After sorting the above data set:
32, 36, 46, 47, 56, 69, 75, 79, 79, 88, 89, 91, 92, 93, 96, 97,
101, 105, 112, 116
• Here the total number of terms is 20.
• The second quartile (Q2) or the median of the above data is
(88 + 89) / 2 = 88.5
• The first quartile (Q1) is median of first n i.e. 10 terms (or n
i.e. 10 smallest values) = 62.5
• The third quartile (Q3) is the median of n i.e. 10 largest
values (or last n i.e. 10 values) = 96.5
• Then, IQR = Q3 – Q1 = 96.5 – 62.5 = 34.0
• The IQR is used to build box plots, simple graphical
representations of a probability distribution.
• The IQR can also be used to identify the outliers in the
given data set.
• The IQR gives the central tendency of the data.
Decision Making
• The data set has a higher value of interquartile range
(IQR) has more variability.
• The data set having a lower value of interquartile
range (IQR) is preferable.
• Suppose if we have two data sets and their
interquartile ranges are IR1 and IR2, and if IR1 > IR2
then the data in IR1 is said to have more variability
than the data in IR2 and data in IR2 is preferable.
