The default \code{df=Inf} represents the normal distribution.} \item{ylim}{plotting range for \code{y}} \item{main}{main title for the plot} \item{xlab}{x-axis title for the plot} \item{ylab}{y-axis title for the plot} \item{plot.it}{whether or not to produce a plot} \item{...}{other arguments to be passed to \code{plot}} } \value{A list is invisibly returned containing the values plotted in the QQ-plot: \item{x}{theoretical quantiles of the t-distribution} \item{y}{the data sample, same as input \code{y}} } \details{ This function is analogous to \code{qqnorm} for normal probability plots. In fact \code{qqt(y,df=Inf)} is identical to \code{qqnorm(y)} in all respects except the default title on the plot. } \author{Gordon Smyth} \seealso{\code{\link[stats]{qqnorm}}} \examples{ # See also the lmFit examples y <- rt(50,df=4) qqt(y,df=4) abline(0,1) } \keyword{distribution}
