A Universal QQ-Plot for Continuous Non-homogeneous Populations
Alberto Luceno
Journal of Applied Statistics, 2007, vol. 34, issue 10, 1207-1223
Abstract:
This article presents a universal quantile-quantile (QQ) plot that may be used to assess the fit of a family of absolutely continuous distribution functions in a possibly non-homogeneous population. This plot is more general than probability plotting papers because it may be used for distributions having more than two parameters. It is also more general than standard quantile-quantile plots because it may be used for families of not-necessarily identical distributions. In particular, the universal QQ plot may be used in the context of non-homogeneous Poisson processes, generalized linear models, and other general models.
