QuantilePlot
QuantilePlot[
data
1
,
data
2
]
creates a quantile-quantile plot from the real-valued vectors
data
1
and
data
2
.
MORE INFORMATION
To use
QuantilePlot
, you first need to load the
Statistical Plots Package
using
Needs
["StatisticalPlots`"]
.
QuantilePlot
plots empirical quantiles of the the two vectors against each other.
QuantilePlot
sorts the shorter data set, and then determines interpolated quantiles at the equivalent position in the longer list of data.
For data sets of equal length,
QuantilePlot
yields the equivalent of plotting the sorted lists against each other.
QuantilePlot
has the same options as
Graphics
, with the following additions and changes:
Axes
True
whether to draw axes
PlotMarkers
Automatic
markers for points
ReferenceLineStyle
Automatic
style for the reference line
Valid settings for the option
ReferenceLineStyle
are
None
,
Automatic
or a style or a list of styles.
The reference line has a slope of unity. If the points on the plot fall mostly on or near the reference line, the distributions are roughly the same.
