What Q4 stands for in this article? --Piecu 09:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

The 4th quartile, the maximum.

[edit] Merge?

Should midhinge be merged into this? And all of the synonyms redirected here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Belg4mit (talk • contribs) 18:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Eeep, according to its article, the midhinge is the mean of the quartiles, a measure of location, while the IQR is their difference, a measure of scale. That article needs fixing... But yes, after things are set right, it would seem some consolidation here would be a good thing. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 19:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
