Applications  (4)

Obtain a robust estimate of dispersion when extreme values are present:

Measures based on the Mean are heavily influenced by extreme values:

Properties & Relations  (3)

QuartileDeviation is half the difference of linearly interpolated Quantile values:

InterquartileRange is twice QuartileDeviation:

QuartileDeviation is half the difference between the first and third quartiles:

Possible Issues  (1)

QuartileDeviation requires numeric values:
