similar to: why this doesn't work for qqnorm

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 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

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 )

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 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,

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

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.

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, r-gurus: I happened to have a question in my work: I have a dataset, which has only one dimention, like 0.99037297527605 0.991179836732708 0.995635340631367 0.997186769599305 0.991632565640424 0.984047197106486 0.99225943762649 1.00555642128421 0.993725402926564 .... the data is saved in a file called f392.txt. I used the following codes to play around :)

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

Hi all, I'm modeling using lme in the nlme package. qqnorm makes plots just find, but when I try to add a line with qqline, I get the following error: "Error in sort.list(x, partial = unique(c(lo, hi))) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list' Have you called 'sort' on a list?" For example > modelincr10<-lme(lruin~can.pos.num, data=rwushi30, random=(~1|

Do you know of a reference that discusses alternative choices for plotting positions for a normal probability plot? The documentation for qqnorm says it calls ppoints, which returns qnorm((1:m-a)/(m+1-2*a)) with "a" = ifelse(n<=10, 3/8, 1/2)? The help pages for qqnorm and ppoints just refer to Becker, Chambers and Wilks (1988) The New S Language (Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole),

Dear experts, I tried to learn about Box-Cox-transformation but found the following thing: When I had to add a constant to make all values of the original variable positive, I found that the lambda estimates (box.cox.powers-function) differed dramatically depending on the specific constant chosen. In addition, the correlation between the transformed variable and the original were not 1 (as I
