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, 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 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),

For a financial data set with large variance, I'm trying to find the outlier threshold of one variable "x" over a two year period. I qqplot(x2001, x2002) and found a normal distribution. The latter part of the normal distribution did not look linear though. Is there a suitable method in R to find the outlier threshold of this variable from 2001 and 2002 in R?

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). Can you help me? Thanks in advance Davide reply to: d.tarfanelli at libero.it -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

Hi Everyone, I want to make 3 lines on the same graph (not as subplots, all in the same window, one on top of each other) and I want them to be quantile-quantile plots (qqplot). Essentially, I am looking for the equivalent of Matlab's "hold on" command to use with qqplot. I know I can use 'points' or 'lines', but these do not give me a qqplot (only appear to work

Hi All Please see the Rprofile file which i have modified as follows and after that when I start R then I see that R says to me "TRUE" for all the packages implying that all loaded at once. But when i try to use commands as simple as help("lm"), it doesnt work nor any of the menu "Packages" is not working. Although the regression using lm ( Y ~ X ) is working

How do I generate a value in R from a poisson distribution with mean 20? Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Generating-a-value-tf4922234.html#a14086120 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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),

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,

Hello, I once used the metawin software to perform a meta-analysis (see metawinsoft, Rosenberg et al.) and produced normal qqplot to test for a potential bias in the dataset. I now want to re-use the same dataset with the package metafor by W. Viechtbauer (great package btw). I run the qqnorm.rma.uni function. I use standardized effect sizes as in metawin. QQplot generated with metafor differs

By any chance is any one aware of a website, book, paper, etc. or combinations of those sources that show plots of different distributions? After reading a pretty good whitepaper I became aware of the benefit of I the benefit of doing Q-Q plots and histograms to help assess a distribution.   The whitepaper is called: "Univariate Analysis and Normality Test Using SAS, Stata, and SPSS*" ,

Hi Yan, Before I try to answer your question: please send R questions to the r- help mailing list (cc'd here). You will likely get your answer more quickly (since I'm not the only one looking at it) and it might help other people who get stuck on a similar situation by finding the answer on a public forum (just like you did).

Hello! I am trying with this question again: I would like to test few distributional assumptions for some behavioral response data. There are few theories about true distribution of those data, like: normal, lognormal, gamma, ex-Gaussian (exponential-Gaussian), Wald (inverse Gaussian) etc. The best way would be via qq-plot, to show to students differences. First two are trivial: qqnorm(dat$X)

Hello, Our professor asked us to do probability plotting using weibull paper, exponential paper, normal, log-normal paper, etc. I know I can create Q-Q plot for normal dist. and see if all te points are on one line. How do I go about other distributions? I tried generating different samples and use the general qq function. However, I could not do it since I don't know the population

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 )

Hello! I am using probplot in the e1071 package and want to do something like the following, only with the the 2nd plot overlaying the first. I can't seem to make it work. Any suggestions? *library(e1071) **x <- rnorm(100, mean=5)* *y <- rnorm(100, mean=3)* *probplot(x, line=FALSE) * *probplot(y, line=FALSE) * *Regards,* *Tom* [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I've got a vector of data (hours to drive from a to b) y. After a qqplot I know, that they don't fit the normal probability. I would like to transform these data with the boxcox transformation (MASS), that they fit the model. When I try ybx<-boxcox(y~1,0) qqnorm(ybx) the plot is different from library (TeachingDemos) ybct<-bct(y,0) // qqnorm(ybct) How can I transform

If some can help to find under wich package can i find the commando's wich i schould to use to work with the empirical cummulative (ecdf) distribution and also the QQplot.
