How are the lower/upper whiskers defined in the default version of
boxplot {graphics}?
I tried help(boxplot) and searching www.rseek.org, but I was unable
to determine an absolute answer.
You need to follow the links from the help pages and tin this case it
appears that you did not follow the one to
?boxplot.stats
I checked out the definition of boxplot according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot
), but it also had several approaches
listed for how the whiskers could be determined, so I'm just curious
how the default
boxplot {graphics} does it.
Thanks for any feedback
Follow links with the R help system.
