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
calculate that confidence interval.

Can someone help me with this?

Cheers,

Fernando
