The following properties of Q-Q plots and probability plots make them useful diagnostics of how well a specified theoretical distribution fits a set of measurements: Q-Q plots are more convenient than ...

We investigate properties of a diagnostic-envelope method for evaluating normal probability plots of regression residuals that was proposed by Atkinson (1981), implemented by BMDP (Hardwick 1987), and ...
