a) "Actual": the actual minimum and maximum value of each group is used
b) "IQR": Maximum = Minimum of i) actual maximum and ii) 3rd quartile + 1.5 * (3rd quartile - 1st quartile)
"IQR": Minimum = Maximum of i) actual minimum and ii) 1st quartile - 1.5 * (3rd quartile - 1st quartile)
2) Outliers (points beyond the minimum and maximum when the interquartile rule from 1 (b) above is in effect) are
3) IQR = Interquartile Range = 3rd quartile - 1st quartile
