PlotWeightedStandardisedQQ

[this page | pdf | references | back links]

Returns a weighted standardised Quantile-Quantile (‘QQ’) plot. More precisely, returns a string which is the (temporary) code for a SmartChart that plots such information.

 

A weighted standardised QQ-plot for a series of observations produces a plot of the observed quantile value versus the expected quantile value, with the series ‘standardised’ to have zero (weighted) mean and unit (weighted) standard deviation using a formula along the lines of:

 

 

where  is the (sample) standard deviation of the data series .

 

The observed (weighted) quantile also takes account of the weights given to the different data points.

 

To allow users to plot several different series together, this function takes as input two different arrays, one containing all of the input data for all of the series (i.e. InputData), positioned consecutively and the other containing the number of entries in each series (i.e. InputDataSizes). So if InputDataSizes is {3,4} then two series are being analysed simultaneously, the first with three data points and the second with four, so InputData should have seven entries, the first three of which are for the first series and the last four for the second series.
