What you're describing isn't a QQ plot but a Q plot, which, as was pointed out can be done with @QPLOT. QQ is a plot of two sample quantiles against each other on a scatter plot. If they're from the same distribution, the points should lie roughly on the y=x line. It's actually just a scattergram of sorted versions of the two series.ac_1 wrote:A simple question: is there a QQ-plot graphical procedure in RATS i.e. quantiles (fractiles) of sample data may be compared graphically against quantiles of a base (normal, t, etc) distribution ?
