What is the best way to plot a boxplot with multiple datasets with the whiskers being 5th and 95th percentile ?

I did something like as shown below, however the whiskers do not match the 5th and 95th percentile, calculated separately for sanity check.

data=[a;b;c;d]; % a, b, c, d are four different datasets.

group = [repmat({'2011'}, length(a), 1); repmat({'2012'}, length(b), 1); ... repmat({'2013'}, length(c), 1); repmat({'2014'}, length(d), 1)]

boxplot(data, group,... 'symbol','','factordirection','auto','whisker',0.7193)

Is there any other way to achieve this ?

Hi Sayantan,

Refer to this Newsgroup thread that talks about specifying the 5th and 95th percentile in boxplot. Hope this helps.
