Definition: Interquartile range is the measure of dispersion which is the difference in the values of two quartiles. The Lower Quartile is denoted as Q 1 and the Upper Quartile is denoted as Q 3. The interquartile range is Q 3 - Q 1. Semi Interquartile range is the midpoint of the interquartile range. In other words, it is one-half of the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile. Therefore, Semi-Interquartile range = $\frac{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}{2}$. Where Q 1 and Q 3 are the upper and lower quartiles respectively.
Confidence votes 114. Like the standard deviation, the interquartile range (IQR) is a descriptive statistic used to summarize the extent of the spread of your data. The IQR is the distance between the 1st quartile (25th percentile) and 3rd quartile (75th percentile). Q3 - Q1 = IQR. To find these numbers you must divide your data set in half, and find the median of each half and that will be your Q1 and Q3.
