[R] Definition of Hinges in Boxplot

[fredrik odegaard]

Hi all,
sorry if this posting appears twice, but I  seemed to have some
trouble on my first attempt.

I am wondering if  the definition  and/or algorithm for the 'Hinges'
(upper and lower) in Boxplot available  somewhere online?
I would like to know a little more than what is described  in
boxplot.stats. In particular I am trying to understand exactly how it
differs  from the default (Type 7) of the quantile function.


Many  thanks,
Fredrik Odegaard
