Dear list I have a vector of values that allegedly have a chi-squared distribution. I want to create a plot that shows the values I have obtained, and the chi-squared distribution curve for the specified number of degrees of freedom to show what should have been obtained. At the moment I am plotting the values I have obtained as a histogram and somehow want to put on to this plot the

I have a quick question which is very simple but I seem to have a mental block! I'm using the pchisq function to specify a Chi Squared distribution with 9 df which I'm then going to use in the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to test some simulated values. so simply: pchisq(q, df=9) I know that q is the vector of quantiles but could anybody tell me what exactly this vector needs to contain?

Stock returns and other financial data have often found to be heavy-tailed. Even Cauchy distributions (without even a first absolute moment) have been entertained as models. Your qq function subtracts numbers on the scale of a normal (0,1) distribution from the input data. When the input data are scaled so that they are insignificant compared to 1, say, then you get essentially the

It would depend on which one of the 9 quantile definitions you are using. The discontinuous ones aren't invertible, and the continuous ones won't be either, if there are ties in the data. This said, it should just be a matter of setting up the inverse of a piecewise linear function. To set ideas, try x <- rnorm(5) curve(quantile(x,p), xname="p") The breakpoints for the

David, thanks for the response. In your response the quantile function (if I see correctly) runs on the columns versus I need to run it on the rows, which is an easy fix, but that is not exactly what I had in mind... essentially we can remove t() from my original code to make "res" look like this: res<-apply(z, 1, quantile, probs=c(0.3)) but after all maybe I did not explain

I have 20 variables: 5,9,6,1,5,9,7,4,5,6,3,2,4,8,9,6,1,8,4,8 How do I calculate the corresponding quantiles from a normal distribution with the same mean and variance as the sample? Also, how do I draw a QQ plot of the data?

Hello, I faced something I can't understand. When I use boxplot.stats(1:10) and quantiles(1:10) the results are different for 25% and 75%: > boxplot.stats(1:10) $stats [1] 1.0 3.0 5.5 8.0 10.0 > quantile(1:10) 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 1.00 3.25 5.50 7.75 10.00 Actually, I expected the value 3 for 25% and 8 for 75% as results of quantile(1:10). Can you please explain me

Hi, i am working on a data set with EDA. That includes QQ-Plots of residuals vs expected normal distribution. What puzzles me is that the range of ordinate and abscissae is so different: while the theoretical quantiles range from [-2, 2] the sample quantiles on the ordinate do extent from [-20, 50]. Quite obviously some kind of transformation is done. Although i intensively RTFM i could not

Hello, I have some data, and I want to generate random numbers following the distribution of this data (in other words, to generate a synthetic data set sharing the same stats as a given data set). Reading an old thread I found the following text: >If you can compute the quantile function of the distribution (i.e., the >inverse of the integral of the pdf), then you can use the

I am attempting to use the R Commander Graphs Quantile-Comparison functionality on a dataset, to compare with a triangular distribution. I have the package triangle. My question is on the syntax of how to specify the parameters of the theoretical distribution in the Parameters field of the dialog box. For example, the theoretical distribution has min of 3000, max of 5000, mode of 4000. When

Hello, eveRybody, I've been trying to find the origin for the following formatting-"inconsistency": E. g., look at the number of digits in summary.defaults()'s output when NAs occur: in my example below the number of NA's is displayed as an integer, the rest as numeric (floating point numbers): > summary.default( c( 1:2, NA)) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu.

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 read and reread the boxplot and the boxplot stats page, and I still cannot understand how and what boxplot shows. I realize that this might be due to me not knowing enough statistics, but anyway... First, how does boxplot determine the size of the box? And is the line inside the box the mean or the median (or something completely different?) And how does it determine how long out the

Dear list I have a vector of values that allegedly have a bivariate normal distribution. I want to create a plot that shows the values I have obtained, and the bivariate normal distribution curve for the data. Is there a way of doing this in R?
