What does a quantile-quantile plot show?
The purpose of the quantile-quantile (QQ) plot is to show if two data sets come from the same distribution. Plotting the first data set's quantiles along the x-axis and plotting the second data set's quantiles along the y-axis is how the plot is constructed.
How do you interpret a Q-Q plot?
Examining data distributions using QQ plots
Points on the Normal QQ plot provide an indication of univariate normality of the dataset. If the data is normally distributed, the points will fall on the 45-degree reference line. If the data is not normally distributed, the points will deviate from the reference line.
How do you interpret a QQ quantile-quantile plot in a linear regression model?
Interpretation: A q-q plot is a plot of the quantiles of the first data set against the quantiles of the second data set. Below are the possible interpretations for two data sets. b) Y-values < X-values: If y-quantiles are lower than the x-quantiles.
How do you know if a normal quantile plot is normal?
The normal distribution is symmetric, so it has no skew (the mean is equal to the median). On a Q-Q plot normally distributed data appears as roughly a straight line (although the ends of the Q-Q plot often start to deviate from the straight line).
