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.
The IQR is the distance between the 1st quartile (25th percentile) and 3rd quartile (75th percentile). 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.
