QUALITY_TUKEY#

Python object: phenotypic.schema._quality_tukey.QUALITY_TUKEY

Measurement info for the replicate-agreement Tukey-fence QC check.

Documents the per-check extra columns behind the Tukey-fence agreement check, which flags colonies whose measurement falls outside Q1 - k*IQR or Q3 + k*IQR relative to their replicates or detection runs. Members beyond the fences are robust outliers that frequently reflect contamination, edge artifacts, or segmentation errors rather than real biology, so these columns drive curation decisions downstream of the QC pipeline.
