function to calculate iqr in matlab

Here's an example of a function that calculates the interquartile range (IQR) in MATLAB:

main.m
function range = iqr(data)
% Function to calculate the interquartile range (IQR)
% INPUTS:
%   data: a vector of numeric data
% OUTPUTS:
%   range: the IQR of the input data

% Written by [Your Name Here]

% Sort the data in ascending order
data_sorted = sort(data);

% Calculate the 1st and 3rd quartiles
N = length(data);
q1 = median(data_sorted(1:floor(N/2)));
q3 = median(data_sorted(ceil(N/2):end));

% Calculate the IQR
range = q3 - q1;
end

This function takes a vector of numeric data as input and outputs the IQR of that data. To calculate the IQR, it first sorts the data in ascending order, then calculates the median of the lower and upper halves of the sorted data to get the 1st and 3rd quartiles, respectively. The IQR is then computed as the difference between the 3rd and 1st quartiles.
