Statistics[QuantilePlot] - generate quantile-quantile plots
Calling Sequence
QuantilePlot(X, Y, options, plotoptions)
QuantilePlot['interactive'](X, Y)
Parameters
X
-
first data sample
Y
second data sample
options
(optional) equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of color, method, reference, or samplesize; specify options for generating the quantile-quantile plot
plotoptions
options to be passed to the plots[display] command
Description
The QuantilePlot command generates a quantile-quantile plot for the specified data.
The first parameter X is the first data sample - given as a Vector or list.
The second parameter Y is the second data sample - given as a Vector or list.
Options
The options argument can contain one or more of the options shown below. All unrecognized options will be passed to the plots[display] command. See plot[options] for details.
color=name, list, or range
This option specifies colors for the points and for the reference line. When a list of colors is given, the set of points and the reference line will be colored with the corresponding colors in the list. If a range of colors is given, the colors will be generated by selecting an appropriate number of equally-spaced points in the corresponding hue range.
method=integer[1..8]
Method for calculating the quantiles. See Statistics, Quantile for more details.
reference=truefalse
If reference is set to true, the reference line will be drawn in the same plot. Default value is true.
samplesize=posint
The number of points to be plotted. The quantiles taken will be for The default value is 25.
Examples
Create three random samples.
The command to create the plot from the Plotting Guide using the data above is
