qq.chen: Quantile versus quantile (QQ) plot for the Chen distribution

In reliaR: Package for some probability distributions.

Description

The function qq.chen() produces a QQ plot for the Chen based on their MLE or any other estimator. Also, a line going through the first and the third quartile can be sketched.

Usage

qq.chen(x, beta.est, lambda.est, main = " ", line.qt = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	vector of observations
beta.est	estimate of the parameter beta
lambda.est	estimate of the parameter lambda
main	the title for the plot
line.qt	logical; if TRUE, a line going by the first and third quartile is sketched.
...	additional arguments to be passed to the underlying plot function.

Value

The function qq.chen() carries out a QQ plot for the Chen
