- DrawQQplot(*args)¶
Draw a QQ-plot.
Refer to QQ-plot.
- Available usages:
VisualTest.DrawQQplot(sample1, sample2, n_points)
VisualTest.DrawQQplot(sample1, distribution);
- Parameters:
- sample1, sample22-d sequences of float
Tested samples.
- ditribution
Distribution
Tested model.
- n_pointsint, optional
The number of points that is used for interpolating the empirical CDF of the two samples (with possibly different sizes).
It will default to DistributionImplementation-DefaultPointNumber from the
ResourceMap
.
- Returns:
- graph
Graph
The graph object
- graph
Notes
The QQ-plot is a visual fitting test for univariate distributions. It opposes the sample quantiles to those of the tested quantity (either a distribution or another sample) by plotting the following points cloud:
where denotes the empirical CDF of the (first) tested sample and denotes either the quantile function of the tested distribution or the empirical quantile function of the second tested sample.
If the given sample fits the tested distribution or sample, then the points should be almost aligned (up to the uncertainty associated with the estimation of the empirical probabilities) with the first bisector whose equation is:
Examples
>>> import openturns as ot >>> from openturns.viewer import View
Generate a random sample from a Normal distribution:
>>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0) >>> distribution = ot.WeibullMin(2.0, 0.5) >>> sample = distribution.getSample(30) >>> sample.setDescription(['Sample'])
Draw a QQ-plot against a given (inferred) distribution:
>>> tested_distribution = ot.WeibullMinFactory().build(sample) >>> QQ_plot = ot.VisualTest.DrawQQplot(sample, tested_distribution) >>> View(QQ_plot).show()
Draw a two-sample QQ-plot:
>>> another_sample = distribution.getSample(50) >>> another_sample.setDescription(['Another sample']) >>> QQ_plot = ot.VisualTest.DrawQQplot(sample, another_sample) >>> View(QQ_plot).show()
