Quantile-Quantile Plots With the Ability to Draw Confidence Bands.

y |
A numeric vector of data values. |
x |
Either a numeric vector of data values, or a character string naming a distribution function such as "norm". |
... |
Parameters passed to the distribution specified by |
type |
1-character string giving the type of plot desired. |
xlim |
The x limits. |
ylim |
The y limits. |
xlab |
A label for the x axis. |
ylab |
A label for the y axis. |
main |
A main title for the plot. |
col |
Color for points and lines. |
lty |
Line type. |
lwd |
Line width. |
pch |
Plotting character for points. |
cex |
Factor for expanding the size of plotted symbols. |
plot.it |
Whether or not to draw a plot. if plotting, points outside the confidence bands will be indicated by different a color. |
confidence |
Confidence level for the confidence band, or |
qqline |
Whether or not to draw a reference line. if "observed", the line passes through the first and third observed quartiles; if "expected", the point (x,y) is expected to fall on the line if x and y follow the same distribution; if "none", no reference line is drawn. |
add |
Add to an existing plot if true. |
If x
is numeric, a two-sample test of the null hypothesis that x
and y
were drawn from the same continuous distribution is performed. Alternatively, x
can be a character string naming a continuous distribution function. In such a case, a one-sample test is carried out of the null that y
was draw from distribution x
with parameters specified by "...".
