Formula Used

Interquartile range: IQR = Q3 − Q1.

Standard Tukey fences: Lower fence = Q1 − 1.5 × IQR. Upper fence = Q3 + 1.5 × IQR.

Z-score: z = (x − mean) ÷ standard deviation.

Modified Z-score: 0.6745 × (x − median) ÷ MAD.

Approximate notched interval: median ± 1.57 × IQR ÷ √n.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the box represent?

The box spans Q1 through Q3. It contains the middle fifty percent.

What does the median line show?

The line marks the middle ordered value. Half the observations lie on either side.

How are outliers detected?

The default method uses Tukey fences. Custom IQR and Z-score methods are available.

Can I compare multiple models?

Yes. Enter one line for each model or upload separate CSV columns.

Why do quartile methods differ?

Software packages use different interpolation rules. Small datasets show the largest differences.

What is a notched box plot?

A notch estimates median uncertainty. Non-overlapping notches can suggest different medians.

Can whiskers show minimum and maximum?

Yes. Select minimum to maximum from the whisker menu.

Does the calculator support negative values?

Yes. Decimal, negative, repeated, and scientific-notation values are accepted.

Can results be exported?

Yes. Download images, PDF reports, summary CSV files, and outlier reports.
