- boxplot.stats(x, coef)
-
- _A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:
-
- x : a numeric vector for which the boxplot will
- be constructed (NAs are allowed).
-
- coef : this determines how far the plot ``whiskers''
- extend out from the box. If coef is posi-
- tive, the whiskers extend to the most extreme
- data point which is no more than coef times
- the interquartile coef from the box. A value
- of zero causes the whiskers to extend to the
- data extremes.
-
- _V_a_l_u_e_s:
-
- This function is typically is called by boxplot to
- gather the statistics necessary for producing box
- plots, but may be invoked separately. The value it
- returns is a list with named components as follows:
-
- stats : a vector containing the extreme of the lower
- whisker, the lower ``hinge'', the median, the
- upper ``hinge'' and the extreme of the upper
- whisker.
-
- n : the number of observations in the sample.
-
- conf : the lower and upper extremes of the ``notch''.
-
- out : the values of any data points which lie beyond the
- extremes of the whiskers.

- _S_e_e _A_l_s_o:
-
- boxplot, bxp.

- _E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:
