plotQQunif {DHARMa}

Quantile-quantile plot for a uniform distribution

Description

The function produces a uniform quantile-quantile plot from a DHARMa output

Usage

plotQQunif(simulationOutput, testUniformity = T, testOutliers = T,
  testDispersion = T, ...)

Arguments

simulationOutput

a DHARMa simulation output (class DHARMa)

testUniformity

if T, the function testUniformity will be called and the result will be added to the plot

testOutliers

if T, the function testOutliers will be called and the result will be added to the plot

testDispersion

if T, the function testDispersion will be called and the result will be added to the plot

...

arguments to be passed on to qqunif

Details

the function calls qqunif from the R package gap to create a quantile-quantile plot for a uniform distribution, and overlays tests for particular distributional problems as specified.

Examples

testData = createData(sampleSize = 200, family = poisson(), 
                      randomEffectVariance = 1, numGroups = 10)
fittedModel <- glm(observedResponse ~ Environment1, 
                   family = "poisson", data = testData)
simulationOutput <- simulateResiduals(fittedModel = fittedModel)

plotResiduals(simulationOutput, rank = TRUE, quantreg = FALSE, smoothScatter = TRUE)

# residual vs predictors, using explicit values for pred, residual 
plotResiduals(simulationOutput, form = testData$Environment1, 
              quantreg = FALSE)

# if pred is a factor, or if asFactor = T, will produce a boxplot
plotResiduals(simulationOutput, form = testData$group)

# All these options can also be provided to the main plotting function

# If you want to plot summaries per group, use
simulationOutput = recalculateResiduals(simulationOutput, group = testData$group)
plot(simulationOutput, quantreg = FALSE) 
# we see one residual point per RE
