BUILT-IN MATHEMATICA SYMBOL
ProbabilityPlot[list]
generates a plot of the CDF of list against the CDF of a normal distribution.
ProbabilityPlot[dist]
generates a plot of the CDF of the distribution dist against the CDF of a normal distribution.
ProbabilityPlot[data, rdata]
generates a plot of the CDF of data against the CDF of rdata.
ProbabilityPlot[data, rdist]
generates a plot of the CDF of data against the CDF of symbolic distribution rdist.
ProbabilityPlot[{data1, data2, ...}, ref]
generates a plot of the CDF of 
against the CDF of a reference distribution ref.
Details and Options
- ProbabilityPlot[data1, data2] works with
being either a dataset of real values or a symbolic univariate distribution. - For datasets list, empirical CDFs are used, and for symbolic distributions dist, exact CDFs are used.
- ProbabilityPlot[data, dist[
1, ...]] with symbolic parameters 
is equivalent to ProbabilityPlot[data, EstimatedDistribution[data, dist[1, ...]]]. - The form
or 
provides a wrapper w to be applied to the resulting graphics primitives. - The following wrappers can be used:
-
Annotation[e,label] provide an annotation Button[e,action] define an action to execute when the element is clicked EventHandler[e,...] define a general event handler for the element Hyperlink[e,uri] make the element act as a hyperlink PopupWindow[e,cont] attach a popup window to the element StatusArea[e,label] display in the status area when the element is moused over Style[e,opts] show the element using the specified styles Tooltip[e,label] attach an arbitrary tooltip to the element - ProbabilityPlot has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes:
-
AspectRatio 1/GoldenRatio ratio of width to height ClippingStyle Automatic what to draw where curves are clipped ColorFunction Automatic how to determine the coloring of curves ColorFunctionScaling True whether to scale arguments to ColorFunction Filling None filling to insert under each curve FillingStyle Automatic style to use for filling Joined Automatic whether to join points Mesh None how many mesh points to draw on each curve MeshFunctions {#1&} how to determine the placement of mesh points MeshShading None how to shade regions between mesh points MeshStyle Automatic the style for mesh points Method Automatic methods to use PerformanceGoal $PerformanceGoal aspects of performance to try to optimize PlotLegends None legends for data points PlotMarkers None markers to use to indicate each point for datasets PlotRange Automatic range of values to include PlotRangeClipping True whether to clip at the plot range PlotStyle Automatic graphics directives to specify the style for each object ReferenceLineStyle Automatic style for the reference line ScalingFunctions None how to scale individual coordinates WorkingPrecision MachinePrecision the precision used in internal computations for symbolic distributions - With Filling->Automatic, the region between a dataset and reference line will be filled. By default, "stems" are used for datasets, and "solid" filling is used for symbolic distributions. The setting Joined->True will force "solid" filling for datasets.
- The arguments supplied to functions in MeshFunctions and RegionFunction are
, 
. Functions in ColorFunction are by default supplied with scaled versions of these arguments. - The setting Joined->Automatic is equivalent to Joined->True when comparing two distributions and Joined->False otherwise.
- The setting PlotStyle->Automatic uses a sequence of different plot styles for different lines.
- With the ReferenceLineStyle->None, no reference line will be drawn.
- Typical settings for PlotLegends include:
-
None no legend Automatic automatically determine legend {lbl1,lbl2,...} use 
, 
, ... as legend labelsPlaced[lspec,...] specify placement for legend - With ScalingFunctions->{sx, sy}, the
coordinate is scaled using 
and the 
coordinate is scaled using 
.
