Tukey’s Fences
Tukey’s Fences is an outlier detection method based on the Interquartile Range (IQR), which is the range between the 25th percentile (Q1) and the 75th percentile (Q3). Tukey’s fences define boundaries outside which data points are considered outliers.
Tukey's Fences Parameters
Param Name | Description | Default Values | Possible Values |
---|---|---|---|
Q1 | First quartile (25th percentile) of the dataset | Computed from data | - |
Q3 | Third quartile (75th percentile) of the dataset | Computed from data | - |
IQR | Interquartile Range = Q3 - Q1 | Computed from Q1/Q3 | - |
k | Multiplier for IQR to define fences | 1.5 | 1.0 (mild), 1.5 (standard), 2.0, 3.0 |
Lower Fence | Q1 - k × IQR | Depends on k | - |
Upper Fence | Q3 + k × IQR | Depends on k | - |
