Min. is the minimum value, Max. is maximum value, Mean is the mean or average value, and Std. is Standard Deviation. Range is the difference between the minimum and maximum values. The Interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of data variability and was derived by computing the distance between the Upper Quartile (i.e. top) and Lower Quartile (i.e. bottom) of the boxes illustrated in Figure 1. Difference is computed as diff = mean(Benign)-mean(Cancer).
