Q–Q plot for first opening/final closing dates of Washington State Route 20, versus a normal distribution. [5] Outliers are visible in the upper right corner. A Q–Q plot is a plot of the quantiles of two distributions against each other, or a plot based on estimates of the quantiles. The pattern of points in the plot is used to compare the ...
Quantile functions are used in both statistical applications and Monte Carlo methods. The quantile function is one way of prescribing a probability distribution, and it is an alternative to the probability density function (pdf) or probability mass function, the cumulative distribution function (cdf) and the characteristic function.
For any population probability distribution on finitely many values, and generally for any probability distribution with a mean and variance, it is the case that +, where Q(p) is the value of the p-quantile for 0 < p < 1 (or equivalently is the k-th q-quantile for p = k/q), where μ is the distribution's arithmetic mean, and where σ is the ...

Rankit plots are usually used to visually demonstrate whether data are from a specified probability distribution. A rankit plot is a kind of Q–Q plot – it plots the order statistics (quantiles) of the sample against certain quantiles (the rankits) of the assumed normal distribution. Q–Q plots may use other quantiles for the normal ...
Normal probability plots are made of raw data, residuals from model fits, and estimated parameters. A normal probability plot. In a normal probability plot (also called a "normal plot"), the sorted data are plotted vs. values selected to make the resulting image look close to a straight line if the data are approximately normally distributed.
The Gompertz distribution is a flexible distribution that can be skewed to the right and to the left. Its hazard function = is a convex function of (;,).The model can be fitted into the innovation-imitation paradigm with = as the coefficient of innovation and as the coefficient of imitation.
A q-q plot is a plot of the quantiles of the first data set against the quantiles of the second data set. By a quantile, we mean the fraction (or percent) of points below the given value. That is, the 0.3 (or 30%) quantile is the point at which 30% percent of the data fall below and 70% fall above that value.
