Inter-Quartile Range (IQR)

A measure suggesting the amount of variation in a distribution by expressing the range of the middle 50% of the data points. It is calculated as (Q3 - Q1) and is commonly used when the data is non-normally distributed. The smaller the result is, then the less variation there may be in the distribution.
