- Variance standard deviation versus interquartile range (IQR)
10 Variance and interquartile range (IQR) are both measures of variability But IQR is robust to outliers, whereas variance can be hugely affected by a single observation Since variance (or standard deviation) is a more complicated measure to understand, what should I tell my students is the advantage that variance has over IQR?
- Determine outliers using IQR or standard deviation?
They are used to work with standard deviation and have a "feeling" for it I am wondering whether we should calculate the boundaries using a multiplier of the standard deviation or use the inter quartile range I will need to be able to justify my choice
- Are there cases where we need to avoid the usage of IQR?
4 Let's consider the interquartile range (IQR), the standard deviation (SD) and the mean absolute deviation (MAD) We know that "one of the most common robust measures of scale is the interquartile range (IQR)", while the "standard deviation, is greatly influenced by outliers", with "a breakdown point of 0"
- Teaching the difference between standard deviation and interquartile range
4 Heights and weights are roughly normal, so standard deviation is more standard for them In those cases it's easy to translate from IQR to standard deviation by a factor of 1 35, so it's better to use the more standard number By contrast: Economic data is rarely normal, so interquartile range is often more useful in that area
- Estimating Standard Deviation from sample mean, median and quartiles
The $IQR 1 35$ estimate of standard deviation comes from a normal distribution Looking at your summary statistics, you have a much longer distance between the third quartile and the median than between the median and the first quartile, indicating a lack of symmetry and, thus, non-normality
- A robust (non-parametric) measure like Coefficient of Variation -- IQR . . .
For a given set of data, spread is often calculated either as the standard deviation or as the IQR (inter-quartile range) Whereas a standard deviation is normalised (z-scores, etc ) and so can be
- Estimating mean and SD given the median and IQR values
5 it is possible to estimate mean and SD given the median and IQR? I am involved in a meta-analysis where some trials show outcomes as mean and standard deviation but most show median and inter-quantile range
- Interquartile range finding more than 10 times outliers than zscore
Yes - using the IQR method can find more "outliers" than using the standard deviation (or zscore) It depends on the distribution of the data Data that's peaked with long tails will have a comparatively low IQR, so the IQR method will find lots of outliers While both these methods can be used for outlier detection when considering only one variable, using them to detect outliers across
- Are there standards for reporting non-parametric test results?
Hahaha sorry Dave Yes, I mean standard errors I've been told I can report mean + - standard deviation, but after a quick Google search, I've come to understand the difference I've been searching how to report "non-parametric data", and the jury still seems out on this one Some argue that there is no such thing as non-parametric data, and you can present means or medians as you see fit I
