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

Hi everyones, my function like; e <- rnorm(n=50, mean=0, sd=sqrt(0.5625)) x0 <- c(rep(1,50)) x1 <- rnorm(n=50,mean=2,sd=1) x2 <- rnorm(n=50,mean=2,sd=1) x3 <- rnorm(n=50,mean=2,sd=1) x4 <- rnorm(n=50,mean=2,sd=1) y <- 1+ 2*x1+4*x2+3*x3+2*x4+e x2[1] = 10 #influential observarion y[1] = 10 #influential observarion data.x <- matrix(c(x0,x1,x2,x3,x4),ncol=5) data.y

Hi, I' am interested in differences between sample's result when samples consist of full elements and consist of only distinct elements. When sample consist of full elements it take about 120 sec., but when consist of only distinct elements it take about 4.5 or 5 times more sec. I expected that opposite of this result, because unique(sample) has less elements than full sample. Code as

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)

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

Hy, I have dowloaded the R-version for Windows. I would want to plot different pictures on the same device, but I am not able to do it (i.e I would like make 2 qqplot on the same graphic).

Hi all, I am trying to test wheater the distribution of my samples is normal with QQ plot. I have a values of water content in clays in around few hundred samples. Is the code : qqnorm(w) #w being water content qqline(w) sufficient? How do I know when I get the plots which distribution is normal and which is not? Thanks, m [[alternative HTML version

hi everyone! season's greetings! is there any way that i can create a normal qqplot showing, aside from the qqline, the 95% confidence limits? thank you very much.. happy holidays! -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/how-to-create-normal-qqplot-with-the-95-confidence-interval-tp977727p977727.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Everyone, When I have a load of functions which have various arguments passed via the ellipsis argument it keeps on assigning them as symbol making them unusable to the function. My current work around involves using do.call but this is rather cumbersome. Does anyone know why it suddenly changes the types to symbol and if there is a way to get the actual data pointed to by the symbol? (I

Dear People, In a qqplot I am doing, I get lines/points that are very thick. I've tried setting the lwd variable to 0.1, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Also, I have set the value of lty to dashed, but I still get dots. The command looks like qqplot(cdf.inv(seq(0,1,length=size),theta,pos,len),empmargdistvec(len,theta,pos,size), xlim=c(-theta,theta), ylim=c(-theta,theta),

Dear Community, I want to identify outliers in my data. I don't know how to use identify command in the plots obtained. I've gone through help files and use mahalanobis example for my purpose: NormalMultivarianteComparefunc <- function(x) { Sx <- cov(x) D2 <- mahalanobis(x, colMeans(x), Sx) plot(density(D2, bw=.5), main="Squared Mahalanobis distances, n=nrow(x),

I have a data vector x. When I try qqline(x) I get the following error: Error in int_abline(a = a, b = b, h = h, v = v, untf = untf, ...) : plot.new has not been called yet And a blank plot appears. Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Scotty _________________________________________________________________ Contest [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I am trying to my dataframe for the PLS analysis using the PLS package. However I have some trouble generating the correct dataframe. The main problem is how to use one name to represent several columns in the dataframe. The example dataframe in PLS package is called "sensory". I cannot directly read the data file since it's a binary file. If I use

Hi, I'm trying to create a qqplot with reference to a Weibull distribution including a reference line. This is my current code: lights.data <- scan("lights.dat") #Generate Weibull quantiles prob.grid <- ppoints(length(lights.data)) prob.quant <- qweibull(prob.grid , 1.5,4) #Draw QQ plot qqplot(prob.quant,lights.data) #add red reference line qqline(lights.data,col = 2)

I have written a function to emulate minitab's QQ plotting output (with SW test and AD test results on the graph): mtab.norm<-function(x) { library(nortest) library(lattice) x<-as.numeric(x) x<-as.vector(x) plot.ht<-4.6 plot.wd<-4.6 pt.ht=plot.ht/5 txt.sz<-(plot.ht/7.5) X11(width=plot.wd, height=plot.ht, bg='gray96') qqplot(x, pch=16, cex=pt.ht,

Hi all, I have just started using R to produce qqnorm plots. I am trying to switch the x and y axes so that the theoretical values are plotted on the y axis and my data on the x axis.

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

I think qqline does not do exactly what it is advertised to do ("`qqline' adds a line to a normal quantile-quantile plot which passes through the first and third quartiles."). Consider the graph: tmp <- qnorm(ppoints(10)) qqnorm(tmp) qqline(tmp) The line (which I expected go through all the points), has a slightly shallower slope than does the points plotted by qqnorm. I think

Estimados todos: Me es grato escribir a esta lista de ayuda para R, ya que comparto 100% la filosofía de Software libre en especial software en Estadística ya que es la carrera que estoy siguiendo.
