Calculate the Mean & SD from Median & IQR
Description of the formula
Variables Definitions
- Median: The middle value of a dataset, separating the higher half from the lower half.
- Q1 (First Quartile): The value below which 25% of the data falls.
- Q3 (Third Quartile): The value below which 75% of the data falls.
- Sample Size: The number of observations in the dataset.
- Mean: The average value of the dataset.
- Standard Deviation (SD): A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values.
Conversion Formula
The conversion process involves the following steps:
The standard deviation is calculated here using the Wan et al method:
