the upper quartile (Q3) is the ¼(3n+1)th observation When ¼(n+3), ½(n+1) and ¼(3n+1) are not integers, linear interpolation is used. This is Method 1 of Freund, J and Perles, B (1987) "A New Look at Quartiles of Ungrouped Data", The American Statistician, 41, 3, 200-203.

In the medicine prices database, all medians, quartiles and percentiles are calculated using the algorithm used by the percentile function in MS Excel 2000. Further information on medians, quartiles and percentiles, and the algorithms used to calculate them can be found in this PDF-format document, which is © iTSS/NERC. See similar questions...

Our research concluded that for the overwhelming majority of calculations, the TBW approach was not nearly as widely accepted as the standard Widmark/Dubowski method. Rest assured, however, that our program designer was aware of the modified approach to calculating BAC as proposed by Patricia Watson and her co-workers in New Zealand. ( See: Watson, Watson and Bratt, Prediction of Blood Alcohol Concentrations in Human Subjects: Updating the Widmark Equation, 42 J. Stud. See similar questions...

See the theory page for a illustrated explanation and a paper you can dowload. We use a set of calibration coefficients that are least squares fit to the measured strain. The result is the residual stress profile (stress as a function of depth) expressed as a series expansion in polynomials. It a very robust way to reduce the data and is tolerant of experimental noise in the measured strains. See similar questions...

EXCEL is an "Exercise in Christian Community Living". The EXCEL principles are shared during a retreat by a team of committed Christians who are employing these principles in their own lives. These principles have been known for thousands of years as the Christian Way, yet today's busy world sometimes makes Christian living seem very difficult or complex. Excel gets you back to the basics! See similar questions...

If you return the books on the next day of a Library closed-day, your books will not be fined on the closed-day. All the fines must be settled when the borrower returns the books. Until a borrower completely settles the overdue fines, his/her library privileges will be on the suspension status. See similar questions...

Investors comfortable with numerical recipes do a technical check of what the returns of a scheme would be in the worst case. They check is done with the Sharpe ratio. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. See similar questions...

In order to determine the probability of an event A, Pr(A), we need to count the number of outcomes corresponding to event A. Let's call this value N(A). Then we need to divide N(A) by the total number of possible outcomes. Let's call the total number of possible outcomes 's'. See similar questions...

Sewer use charges are calculated by applying the above rates to your metered water usage, except in the case of the four (4) monthly billings issued after May 30th of each year (single-family residents only). For each of the (4) months after May 30th???you will be charged the lesser of: The amount equaling the rate applied to your average monthly-metered usage for the preceding months of December, January and February.

GSOLVER calculates diffraction efficiencies for a general (arbitrary profile and/or construction) periodic diffraction grating illuminated by a monochromatic, plane wave. Diffraction efficiency is defined in the usual way. Assume that the incident plane wave vector k1 has vector components [k1x, k1y, k1z], and the complex (electric field) amplitude of the (i, j)th diffracted wave is Rij, then the diffraction efficiency (DE) is defined as DEij=|Rij|2 Re(kzij/k1z) where Re(.

The general formula for figuring out APR is to first calculate your normal monthly loan payment (principal and interest). Next, deduct from the loan amount any 'finance charges' (see below). Then solve for the interest rate that makes the new loan amount (the one with 'finance charges' deducted) come up with a monthly payment that's the same as the original monthly payment.
