Data Analysis Section 1.6 1.6 Quantile-quantile (q-q) plots 1.6.1 Quantiles Quantiles are percentage points of a probability distribution. For example, the median is the 0.50 quantile of the distribution. And the upper quartile gy is the 0.75 quantile of the distribution, EXAMPLE 1.8. The 0.25 or 25% quantile or 25*# percentile (ie. the first quartile) of the standard Normal distribution is 0.6745, because if Z ~ N(0, 1) then Pr(Z < -0.6745) = 0.25 You can ee this from we “AB, OF from any pre set of statistical tables. Cee teet quantile 13 te tale og sb P( 2X) We attempt to define quantiles for data (rather than for a probability distribution) in a similar way. EXAMPLE 1.9. Find the quantiles of the following data (shown after sorting) 3,8 6.1 8.1 8.2 9.4/10.3 11.4 11 7| 12.4 12.9 i Solution, The smallest observation, x1 = 3.8, is the first of 10 in size, so we might think that it should be the 1/10 = 0.10 quantile. But this would make 5 = 9.4 the 0. Pa quantile, or the median. We know this is false, as the median is no. Aates pots (x5 + 26)/2 = (9-4 + 10.3)/2 = 9.85. ‘A neat way to overcome this is withthe following definition. |” For any set of data, the ith smallest value is the (i ~ 0.5)/n quantile. ‘Thus a, = 3.8 is the (1 — 0.8)/10 = 0.05 quantile, 2» = 6.1 is the (2 - 0.5)/10 = 0.15 quantile, ete.
