Weibull Plot

Description

wp.plot produces a Weibull plot.

Usage

wp.plot(x, plot.it=TRUE, a, col.line="black", lty.line=1, 
        xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, main=NULL, sub=NULL, xlab=NULL, ylab="Probability", ...) 

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of data values. Missing values are allowed.

plot.it

logical. Should the result be plotted?

a

the offset fraction to be used; typically in (0,1). See ppoints.

col.line

the color of the straight line.

lty.line

the line type of the straight line.

xlim

the x limits of the plot.

ylim

the y limits of the plot.

main

a main title for the plot, see also title.

sub

a sub title for the plot.

xlab

a label for the x axis, defaults to a description of x.

ylab

a label for the y axis, defaults to "Probability".

...

graphical parameters.

Details

The Weibull plot is based on taking the logarithm of the Weibull cumulative distribution function twice. The horizontal axis is logarithmic.

Value

A list with the following components:

x

The sorted data

y

log(-log(1-ppoints(n,a=a)))
