similar to: an interesting qqnorm question

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

Hello, sorry that i didn't answer sooner. (I was ill the last few days.) We didn't resolve the problem yet. But we wonna try to use the patch Micha Lenk mentioned in his post. (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8523) We think, until the cache problem is resolved, it is better to have no cache then a bad cache. Also i read the posts of the last few days on the list. And i think

if i want to plot the chi-square distribution with a different degree of freedom how can i plot it in the graph?Sometimes i plot the histogram and cut it in a lot of piece.It's distribution like a chi-square.So i want to plot the chi-square with a different degree of freedom to compare it . -- View this message in context:

dear all, it will just take you a minute to tell me the difference between qnorm and qqnorm. are they same or is there any difference between them?? regards

I've got a set of data that are weighted by a largish integer (ranging from about 50K to 1.5 million). I'd like to plot CDF's for this data taking into account the weighting. What do you recommend?

Hi- I wanted percentage labels on a qqnorm x axis. I used the following: #make up some data jt<-rnorm(100) #qqnorm with percentile x labels qqnorm(jt,axes=F,xlab="Percentiles") box() l<-c(1,5,10,30,50,70,90,95,99) axis(1,at=qnorm(l/100),label=l) which was ok for this data set. Does anyone have a more general solution which would allow one to specify the number of x labels

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,

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

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 want to create a rather standard overlaid qqnorm plot on a single variable, with different subgroups of the same dataset plotted using different colors/symbols/etc. (I don't want side-by-side, rather different-colored curves on the same graph) I managed to do it rather tediously using "lapply" and "split", and wondered whether there is any single-command

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

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

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.
