Class InterquartileRange

com.github.jessemull.microflexinteger.stat.InterquartileRange

public class InterquartileRange
extends DescriptiveStatistic

This class calculates the inter-quartile range of integer plate stacks, plates, wells and well sets.

Statistical operations can be performed on stacks, plates, sets and wells using standard or aggregated functions. Standard functions calculate the desired statistic for each well in the stack, plate or set. Aggregated functions aggregate the values from all the wells in the stack, plate or set and perform the statistical operation on the aggregated values. Both standard and aggregated functions can be performed on a subset of data within the stack, plate, set or well.

The methods within the MicroFlex library are meant to be flexible and the descriptive statistic object supports operations using a single stack, plate, set or well as well as collections and arrays of stacks, plates, sets or wells.

Operation	Beginning Index	Length of Subset	Input/Output
Standard	+/-	+/-	Accepts a single well, set, plate or stack as input Calculates the statistic for each well in a well, set, plate or stack
Aggregated	+/-	+/-	Accepts a single well/set/plate/stack or a collection/array of wells/sets/plates/stacks as input Aggregates the data from all the wells in a well/set/plate/stack and calculates the statistic using the aggregated data
