QQplot {UsingR}R Documentation

Creates a qqplot with shaded density estimate

Description

Creates a qqplot of two variables along with graphs of their densities, shaded so that the corresponding percentiles are clearly matched up.

Usage

QQplot(x, y, n = 20, xsf = 4, ysf = 4, main = "qqplot", xlab = deparse(substitute(x)), ylab = deparse(substitute(y)), pch = 16, pcol = "black", shade = "gray", ...)

Arguments

x The x variable
y The y variable
n number of points to plot in qqplot.
xsf scale factor to adjust size of x density graph
ysf scale factor to adjust size of y density graph
main title
xlab label for x axis
ylab label for y axis
pch plot character for points in qqplot
pcol color of plot character
shade shading color
... extra arguments passed to plot.window

Details

Shows density estimates for the two samples in a qqplot. Meant to make this useful plot more transparent to first-time users of quantile-quantile plots.

This function has some limitations: the scale factor may need to be adjusted; the code to shade only shaded trapezoids, and does not completely follow the density.

Value

Produces a graphic
