Do you mean IQR? -- I don't know what ICR means.
If so, see IQR.

More generally see ?by or more generally ?tapply to obtain whatever sort of
summary you want.

e.g.

> d <-data.frame( x = runif(10), w = rep(c("a","b"),5))
> by(d$x, d$w, FUN = function(x)c(median = median(x),IQR = IQR(x)))
d$w: a
   median       IQR
0.5469662 0.4548506
--------------------------------------------------------------
d$w: b
   median       IQR
0.6860975 0.3456893
