Purpose

Conditional quantile-quantile plot.

Synopsis

vals = plotcqq(x,distname,translate)

Description

Plots a conditional QQplot of a sample in vector (x). Conditional quantile plots as described in the 1986 Kafadar and Spiegelman article "An alternative to ordinary q-q plots" in Computational Statistics & Data Analysis are also available in this toolbox.

Inputs

  • x = matrix (column vector) in which the sample data is stored.
  • distname = string, optional distribution name to assume as the parent distribution for the sample. Default value is 'normal'.
  • translate = scalar, axis translation.

Outputs

The return value is a structure with the following fields:

  • q = quantile of the named distribution.
  • u = values at which the quantiles were evaluated.

Examples

vals = plotcqq(x)
vals = plotcqq(x,'normal')
vals = plotcqq(x,'beta')
