qqplot and qqnorm

qqplot(x, y; kwargs...)

Draw a Q-Q plot, comparing quantiles of two distributions. y must be a list of samples, i.e., AbstractVector{<:Real}, whereas x can be

• a list of samples,

• an abstract distribution, e.g. Normal(0, 1),

• a distribution type, e.g. Normal.

In the last case, the distribution type is fitted to the data y.

The attribute qqline (defaults to :none) determines how to compute a fit line for the Q-Q plot. Possible values are the following.

• :identity draws the identity line.

• :fit computes a least squares line fit of the quantile pairs.

• :fitrobust computes the line that passes through the first and third quartiles of the distributions.

• :none omits drawing the line.

Broadly speaking, qqline = :identity is useful to see if x and y follow the same distribution, whereas qqline = :fit and qqline = :fitrobust are useful to see if the distribution of y can be obtained from the distribution of x via an affine transformation.

Plot type

The plot type alias for the qqplot function is QQPlot.

Attributes

color = @inherit linecolor — Control color of both line and markers (if markercolor is not specified).

cycle = [:color] — No docs available.

depth_shift = 0.0 — adjusts the depth value of a plot after all other transformations, i.e. in clip space, where 0 <= depth <= 1. This only applies to GLMakie and WGLMakie and can be used to adjust render order (like a tunable overdraw).

fxaa = true — adjusts whether the plot is rendered with fxaa (anti-aliasing, GLMakie only).

inspectable = true — sets whether this plot should be seen by DataInspector.

inspector_clear = automatic — Sets a callback function (inspector, plot) -> ... for cleaning up custom indicators in DataInspector.

inspector_hover = automatic — Sets a callback function (inspector, plot, index) -> ... which replaces the default show_data methods.

inspector_label = automatic — Sets a callback function (plot, index, position) -> string which replaces the default label generated by DataInspector.

linestyle = nothing — No docs available.

linewidth = @inherit linewidth — No docs available.

marker = @inherit marker — No docs available.

markercolor = automatic — No docs available.

markersize = @inherit markersize — No docs available.

model = automatic — Sets a model matrix for the plot. This overrides adjustments made with translate!, rotate! and scale!.

overdraw = false — Controls if the plot will draw over other plots. This specifically means ignoring depth checks in GL backends

space = :data — sets the transformation space for box encompassing the plot. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

ssao = false — Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with ssao (screen space ambient occlusion). Note that this only makes sense in 3D plots and is only applicable with fxaa = true.

strokecolor = @inherit markerstrokecolor — No docs available.

strokewidth = @inherit markerstrokewidth — No docs available.

transformation = automatic — No docs available.

transparency = false — Adjusts how the plot deals with transparency. In GLMakie transparency = true results in using Order Independent Transparency.

visible = true — Controls whether the plot will be rendered or not.

qqnorm(y; kwargs...)

Shorthand for qqplot(Normal(0,1), y), i.e., draw a Q-Q plot of y against the standard normal distribution. See qqplot for more details.
