distribution
a character string denoting the distribution abbreviation. The default value is
distribution="norm". See the help file for Distribution.df for a
list of possible distribution param.list
a list with values for the parameters of the distribution. The default value is
param.list=list(mean=0, sd=1). See the help file for Distribution.df
for the names and possible estimate.params
a logical scalar indicating whether to compute quantiles based on estimating the
distribution parameters (estimate.params=TRUE) or using the known
distribution parameters specified in param.list (estimate.params=FAL
est.arg.list
a list whose components are optional arguments associated with the function used
to estimate the parameters of the assumed distribution (see the help file
Estimating sample.size
numeric scalar indicating the number of observations to generate for each Q-Q plot.
The default value is sample.size=10.
num.pages
numeric scalar indicating the number of pages of plots to generate.
The default value is num.pages=2.
num.plots.per.page
numeric scalar indicating the number of plots per page.
The default value is num.pages=4.
nrow
numeric scalar indicating the number of rows of plots on each page.
The default value is the smallest integer greater than or equal to
num.plots.per.page/2.
plot.type
a character string denoting the kind of plot. Possible values are "Q-Q"
(Quantile-Quantile plot, the default) and "Tukey Mean-Difference Q-Q"
(Tukey mean-difference Q-Q plot). This argument may be abbreviated (e.g.,
plot.pos.con
numeric scalar between 0 and 1 containing the value of the plotting position constant.
The default value of plot.pos.con depends on the value of the argument
distribution. For the normal, lognormal, three-parameter logn
equal.axes
logical scalar indicating whether to use the same range on the $x$- and
$y$-axes when plot.type="Q-Q". The default value is TRUE if
qq.line.type="0-1" or estimate.params=TRUE, otherwise it is
margin.title
character string indicating the title printed in the top margin on each page of
plots. The default value indicates the kind of Q-Q plot, the probability
distribution, the sample size, and the estimation method used (if any).
add.line
logical scalar indicating whether to add a line to the plot.
If add.line=TRUE and plot.type="Q-Q", a line determined by the
value of qq.line.type is added to the plot.
If add.line=TRUE and
qq.line.type
character string determining what kind of line to add to the Q-Q plot.
Possible values are "least squares" (the default), "0-1" and
"robust". For the value
"least squares", a least squares
duplicate.points.method
character string denoting how to plot points with duplicate $(x,y)$ values.
Possible values are "standard" (the default), "jitter", and "number". For the value
"standard", a single plotting sym
points.col
numeric scalar or character string determining the color of the points in the plot.
The default value is points.col=1. See the entry for col in the
help file for par for more line.col
numeric scalar or character string determining the color of the line in the plot.
The default value is points.col=1. See the entry for col in the
help file for par for more i line.lwd
numeric scalar determining the width of the line in the plot. The default value is
line.lwd=par("cex"). See the entry for lwd in the help file for par
for more information. line.lty
a numeric scalar determining the line type of the line in the plot. The default value is
line.lty=1. See the entry for lty in the help file for par
for more information. Thi digits
a scalar indicating how many significant digits to print for the distribution
parameters. The default value is digits=.Options$digits.
same.window
logical scalar indicating whether to produce all plots in the same graphics
window (same.window=TRUE; the default), or to create a new graphics
window for each separate plot (same.window=FALSE).
ask
logical scalar supplied to the function devAskNewPage, indicating
whether to prompt the user before creating a new plot within a single graphics
window. The default value is TRUE mfrow, mar, oma, mgp, main, xlab, ylab, xlim, ylim, ...
additional graphical parameters (see par).
