Q-Q Plot censored data — cenQQ • NADA2

Plots a quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot of censored data versus a fitted data distribution

cenQQ(x.var, cens.var, dist = "lnorm", Yname = yname)

Arguments

x.var	The column of `x` (response variable) values plus detection limits
cens.var	The column of indicators, where 1 (or `TRUE`) indicates a detection limit in the `y.var` column, and 0 (or `FALSE`) indicates a detected value in `y.var`.
dist	One of three distributional shapes to fit to your data: lognormal (`lnorm`), normal (`norm`) or gamma (`gamma`).
Yname	Optional – input text in quotes to be used as the variable name on the Q-Q plot. The default is the `Yname` name of the `y.var` input variable.

Value

A single Q-Q plot of data fitted by normal, lognormal or gamma distributions with Shapiro-Francia W value printed on plot.
