My school doesn't have Moore and McCabe, but I did look in Tanis and Hogg and there wasn't any mention of fences or adjacent values (atleast when it is describing box plots).� It does mention quartiles and medians, but nothing else.� Any other ideas?� I've looked through about 30 stats books so far.

The classic reference to Tukey is already out but you can easily get a cite in any modern intro stats book, e.g., Moore and McCabe, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, or Tanis and Hogg, Probability and Statistical Inference.�

Subject: st: box plot reference
Can someone refer me to a well-known statistics book that defines the terms such as "inner fence" and "adjacent value", which Stata uses in its box plots?� I've found some online sources, but my advisor wants something more "real" to cite in my thesis.
thanks,
Chris, user of Stata 9.2
