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 ...
A graphical tool for assessing normality is the normal probability plot, a quantile-quantile plot (QQ plot) of the standardized data against the standard normal distribution. Here the correlation between the sample data and normal quantiles (a measure of the goodness of fit) measures how well the data are modeled by a normal distribution. For ...
Probability plot, a graphical technique for comparing two data sets, may refer to: P–P plot, "Probability-Probability" or "Percent-Percent" plot; Q–Q plot, "Quantile-Quantile" plot; Normal probability plot, a Q–Q plot against the standard normal distribution
As in the computation of, for example, standard deviation, the estimation of a quantile depends upon whether one is operating with a statistical population or with a sample drawn from it. For a population, of discrete values or for a continuous population density, the k -th q -quantile is the data value where the cumulative distribution ...
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.

A plot of the Q-function. In statistics , the Q-function is the tail distribution function of the standard normal distribution . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In other words, Q ( x ) {\displaystyle Q(x)} is the probability that a normal (Gaussian) random variable will obtain a value larger than x {\displaystyle x} standard deviations.
