Details

After eliminating out of range p--values and missing values produces a Q--Q plot. If the package qqconf is unavailable or plotversion is set other than "qqconf" then the plot uses the function from base graphics. The line shown is through the quantiles (by default the 0.25 and 0.75).

If the package qqconf is available then the plot uses that package's function and as well as the Q--Q plot produces a confidence region. Parameters can be passed to qq_conf_plot to exert further control over the plot.

If plotversion is set to "qqconf" but package qqconf is not available then a warning is given and no plot is produced.
