qreference: Normal QQ Reference Plot

In jhmaindonald/DAAG: Data Analysis and Graphics Data and Functions

Description

This function computes the normal QQ plot for given data and allows for comparison with normal QQ plots of simulated data.

Usage

qreference(test = NULL, m = 50, nrep = 6, distribution = function(x) qnorm(x, 
    mean = ifelse(is.null(test), 0, mean(test)), sd = ifelse(is.null(test), 
    1, sd(test))), seed = NULL, nrows = NULL, cex.strip = 0.75, 
    xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL) 

Arguments

test	a vector containing a sample to be tested; if not supplied, all qq-plots are of the reference distribution
m	the sample size for the reference samples; default is test sample size if test sample is supplied
nrep	the total number of samples, including reference samples and test sample if any
distribution	reference distribution; default is standard normal
seed	the random number generator seed
nrows	number of rows in the plot layout
cex.strip	character expansion factor for labels
xlab	label for x-axis
ylab	label for y-axis

Value

QQ plots of the sample (if test is non-null) and all reference samples

Examples

# qreference(rt(180,1))

# qreference(rt(180,1), distribution=function(x) qt(x, df=1))

# qreference(rexp(180), nrep = 4)

# toycars.lm <- lm(distance ~ angle + factor(car), data = toycars)
# qreference(residuals(toycars.lm), nrep = 9)
