##### Exploratory QQplot for Extreme Value Analysis

Creates a QQplot for threshold data against the exponential distribution or the generalized Pareto distribution.

Keywords
hplot
##### Usage
qplot(data, xi = 0, trim = NA, threshold = NA, line = TRUE,
labels = TRUE, …)
##### Arguments
data

data vector

xi

the xi value of a generalized Pareto distribution

trim

value at which data are to be right-truncated

threshold

value at which data are to be left-truncated

line

whether or not a straight line is to be added

labels

whether or not the axes are to be labelled

other graphics parameters

##### Details

If xi is zero the reference distribution is the exponential; if xi is non-zero the reference distribution is the generalized Pareto with that value of xi. In the case of the exponential, the plot is interpreted as follows. Concave departures from a straight line are a sign of heavy-tailed behaviour. Convex departures show thin-tailed behaviour.
