  2. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    Calculating the median in data sets of odd (above) and even (below) observations. The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value.

  3. Five-number summary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary

    Splitting the observations either side of the median gives two groups of four observations. The median of the first group is the lower or first quartile, and is equal to (0 + 1)/2 = 0.5. The median of the second group is the upper or third quartile, and is equal to (27 + 61)/2 = 44. The smallest and largest observations are 0 and 63.

  4. Range (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(statistics)

    In descriptive statistics, the range of a set of data is size of the narrowest interval which contains all the data. It is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values (also known as the sample maximum and minimum). [1] It is expressed in the same units as the data. The range provides an indication of statistical ...

  5. Quartile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile

    If there are an odd number of data points in the original ordered data set, include the median (the central value in the ordered list) in both halves. If there are an even number of data points in the original ordered data set, split this data set exactly in half. The lower quartile value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper ...

  6. Interquartile range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interquartile_range

    Boxplot (with an interquartile range) and a probability density function (pdf) of a Normal N(0,σ 2) Population. In descriptive statistics, the interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of statistical dispersion, which is the spread of the data. [1] The IQR may also be called the midspread, middle 50%, fourth spread, or H‑spread.

  7. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    In probability theory, a probability density function (PDF), density function, or density of an absolutely continuous random variable, is a function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the ...

    From January 2011 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Eric C. Wiseman joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 41.2 percent return on your investment, compared to a 12.1 percent return from the S&P 500.

  9. Order statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic

    A similar important statistic in exploratory data analysis that is simply related to the order statistics is the sample interquartile range. The sample median may or may not be an order statistic, since there is a single middle value only when the number n of observations is odd.
