Thanks a lot Turner. Latter I also tried following : oo<-quantile(original, probs = seq(0, 1, 0.01), type = 8) pp<-quantile(predicted, probs = seq(0, 1, 0.01), type = 8) plot(oo,pp) But plot for above and following (as you suggested) are not same. What may be the error ?
The error is that you didn't look at the code of qqplot() to see what
it's actually doing. (Type: "qqplot" without the quote marks.)
It's not doing what you did, so naturally the results are different.
I have not the time nor the inclination to think through the implications
of what you did and what qqplot() does in respect of the information
content of the two approaches. I suspect that they will usually, if not
always, give *similar* results.
cheers,
