Dear people
I've learnt that by using the boxplot.stats command in the grDevices library
I can get the 5-number summaries of a boxplot, plus other important information,
like the confidence interval around the median.
I'm interested in knowing the actual formula to used in that package to
See ?fivenum in the stats package. If you just type
stats::fivenum
you will get the code. The crucial calculations are in the last few
lines.

That will only give the code to calculate the five number summary, but

I wonder why we don't just use the exact nonparametric confidence
interval for the median, which is just as easy to compute. Also,
it will be asymmetric if the data are skewed, as it should be.
