Thank very much for this. I think perhaps a better option is to export iqr. I would probably do this in src/batch.lisp:

;;; Helpful shortcuts
(defalias iqr interquartile-range)
(export 'iqr)

Do you want to update this PR please?

@LEHunter , I'm glad you're back! I was just considering how to integrate your prior work into the batch statistics system. What do you think of converting the list-based input parameters into vector based ones? We could use the elementwise mathematics functions of numerical-utilities to smooth out the loops and syntax.

I don’t know elementwise or really the numerical-utilities package, so hard to say. If there are advantages, then there’s really no reason not to. It’s cheap to coerce once or twice for those who prefer the other approach.

It's mostly performance; lists are elegant, but very slow. Vectors have also become the idiomatic data structure over the years.

[LEHunter]

Then go for it.

@GongYiLiao , can you update iqr with an export form?
