QQ-plot with simulated envelopes

Description

Constructs a normal QQ-plot using a Wilson-Hilferty transformation for the estimated Mahalanobis distances obtained from the LaplaceFit procedure.

Usage

envelope.Laplace(object, reps = 50, conf = 0.95, plot.it = TRUE)

Arguments

`object`	an object of class `LaplaceFit` representing the fitted model.
`reps`	number of simulated point patterns to be generated when computing the envelopes. The default number is 50.
`conf`	the confidence level of the envelopes required. The default is to find 95% confidence envelopes.
`plot.it`	if `TRUE` it will draw the corresponding plot, if `FALSE` it will only return the computed values.

Value

A list with the following components :

`transformed`	a vector with the `z`-scores obtained from the Wilson-Hilferty transformation.
`envelope`	a matrix with two columns corresponding to the values of the lower and upper pointwise confidence envelope.
