similar to: Flipping axes of qqnorm

I am a beginner in R, so please don't step on me if this is too simple. I have two data sets datax and datay for which I created a qqplot qqplot(datax,datay) but now I want a line that indicates the perfect match so that I can see how much the plot diverts from the ideal. This ideal however is not normal, so I think qqnorm and qqline cannot be applied. Perhaps you can help? Ralf

Hi, there. Is there any function in R to plot the probability-probability plot (PP plot)? Suppose I am testing some data against normal. Thanks.

two ARIMA models, both have several bars signicant in ACF and PACF plots of their residuals, but when run Ljung Box tests, both don't show any significant correlations... however, one model has p-value that is larger than the other model, based on the p-values, can I say the model with larger p-values should be better than the model with smaller p-values?

Just found because an old (written for S+) function of mine did label plots wrongly with R. Example --- inspired from example(qqnorm) --- data(precip) qqnorm(precip, ylab = "Precipitation [in/yr] ...") qqnorm(precip, ylab = "Precipitation [in/yr] ...", datax = TRUE) this is all "fine" -- `datax' is a switch that just switches the axes but keeps the

Hi, I see that there is a standard function for Q-Q normal plots in R but couldn't find anything for normal probability plots. To my eyeballs the latter are easier to interpret. Is there a function in some library or is there a standard way to use qqnorm to get them?

Hi, R friends. I had some difficulty with the following code: qqnorm(freq, log='y') qqline(freq) as the line drawn was seemingly random. The exact data I used appears below. After wandering a bit within the source code for "abline", I figured out I should rather write: qqnorm(freq, log='y') par(ylog=FALSE) qqline(log10(freq)) par(ylog=TRUE)

I want to qqnorm every column in a table. When I try the first column using qqnorm(table$column1), it worked. But when I use qqnorm(table[1]), it tells me "Error in stripchart(x1, ...) : invalid plotting method". What happen? How can I make a function that qqnorms every column? thanks a lot. -jiong The email message (and any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended

I know this topic has had plenty of discussion in the last couple of days, but.... I've been trying to compare the effects of different fitted methods for systems of equations (OLS, SUR, 2SLS, 3SLS ) and would like to compare the residual plots (easy) and the qqnorm/qqplot of the fits for the different fitted methdos. For example, qqnorm( residuals( lm( q ~ p + f + a ) ) ) par( new = TRUE )

# I can not draw a 45 degree line on a qqnorm() plot, jj <- sample(c(1:100), 10) qqnorm(jj) abline() don't work. Thank you.

Referring to "Using R for Data Analysis and Graphics" by J H Maindonald, and available from the R site, I found the example on p.30 non-working: > stem(qqnorm(possum$hdlngth)) Error in stem(qqnorm(possum$hdlngth)) : 'x' must be numeric Since qqnorm(possum$hdlngth) plots, and > class(possum$hdlngth) [1] "numeric" , the problem must be here: >

Hello, I am trying to do some plotting to check random effect assumptions for a model I fit using lme. I want to use qqnorm and pairs (similarly to examples given in Pinheiro & Bates p. 188), but it's not working. Here's some relevant code and the error message: library(nlme) data(Machines) m1 <- lme(fixed=score~Machine,random=~1|Worker/Machine, data=Machines) qqnorm(m1,

Hello R friends, I'm wondering why I get funny qqnorm() results. It seems that they should all be reflected in the normal qqline(). For instance: if I qqnorm() bimodal or uniform data I get a sigmoidal in which the qqnorm() points lie above the qqline() at -ve theoretical quantiles, and the qqnorm() points lie below the qqline() at +ve theoretical quantiles. Yet I expect such platykurtic

Hi, We could use qqplot to see how two distributions are different from each other. To show better how they are different (departs from the straight line), how is it possible to plot the straight line that goes through them? I am looking for some thing like qqline for qqnorm. I thought of abline but how to determine the slope and intercept? Best wishes, Carol

Dear List, invoking qqnorm-plots in Version 63.3 produces funny things: using the option `type="s"´ on qqnorm should give a nice *line* of observed quantiles. Now, the line is walking along in order to the points index instead from lowest to highest, wich makes funny slopes. try x <- table(rnorm(1000) # or similar and qqnorm(x,type="s") # in 0.63.2 and 63.3 Well, the

Hello, I have a doubt about the plotting position of the theoretical quantile for the qqnorm command in R. Let F be the theoretical distribution of Y, we observed a sample of size n, y1,y2, ..., yn. We then sort it and comspare these empirical quantiles to the expected ones from F. For the plotting poition, there are several options: 1. i/(n+1) 2. (i-.375)/(n+.25) 3. (i- .3175)/ (n + .365) etc.

Hi all, I am an R newbie, and I have a question about scripting. I have the following lines which I want to put int\ o a script which I can call from the shell of a Mac/Linux machine : myrns <- read.csv(file="/Users/vihan/test.csv",sep="",header=FALSE) qqnorm(myrns) qqline(myrns) This works fine on an interactive R session. However, as I understand the basic framework of

Dear all, I have two variables called c2 and c3 and want to plot these variables in the same qqnorm-plot with two different symbols or colors to distinguish them so I can easily compare the variables aginst each other. How can I do in R? I only manage to do two separated qqnorn-plots. Thanks for your help, All the best, Jenny c2= -0.1545775144 -0.0601161235

Hi all, Does anyone know how to plot overlapping qqnorm plots on the same window? Suppose I have data in the vector x and y: qqnorm(x) lines(qqnorm(y)) I though these two lines will do the job... However, lines doesn't seem to work. Anyways, thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Plotting-two-qqnorm-plots%3A-tp25352893p25352893.html Sent from the R help
