qq.loglogistic
I know of no such function. Some authors have described PP and QQ plots for a arbitrary distributions. I've experimented with PP plots and QQ plots for uniform, Student's t, chi-square and F distributions, but have not gotten much out of them. The uniform plots failed to show adequate detail close to 0 or 1. With the Student's t, chi-square, and F plots, the points in the tail were too far apart for me to easily judge what was happening. However, I regularly use normal probability plots. If I wanted to test a logistic fit, I might esimate the parameters, e.g. using "fitdistr" in library(MASS), then transform the data to probabilities using plogis, then further tranform the probabilities to normal scores using qnorm. The I would make a normal probability plot. If anyone else has relevant experience, whether consistent or conflicting with mine, I'd be pleased to hear about it. spencer graves

Hi, is there any similar function in R to S function qq.loglogistic, which produces a Q-Q plot? Thanks a lot Pete
