Quartile skew coefficient

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-022942

Measure of the difference in the distances of the upper and lower quartiles (upper and lower 25 percent of data) from the median. The qs is more resistant to outliers because, like the IQR, it uses the central 50 percent of the data.
