QQ-plot with simulated envelopes
Constructs a normal QQ-plot using a Wilson-Hilferty transformation for the estimated Mahalanobis distances obtained from the LaplaceFit procedure.
envelope.Laplace(object, reps = 50, conf = 0.95, plot.it = TRUE)
object: an object of class LaplaceFit representing the fitted model.reps: number of simulated point patterns to be generated when computing the envelopes. The default number is 50.conf: the confidence level of the envelopes required. The default is to find 95% confidence envelopes.plot.it: if TRUE it will draw the corresponding plot, if FALSE it will only return the computed values.A list with the following components :
transformed: a vector with the z-scores obtained from the Wilson-Hilferty transformation.
envelope: a matrix with two columns corresponding to the values of the lower and upper pointwise confidence envelope.
