[R] Is there a recent book on Q-Q plot and data visualization in general?

[Paul Hiemstra]

Hi Peng Yu,

Chapter 13 of the following book provides a good description of the 
assumption done when using regression and other techniques. It also 
discusses the QQplot.

@BOOK{Christensen1996,
  title = {Plane Answers to Complex Questions: The Theory of Linear Models},
  publisher = {Springer, New York},
  year = {1996},
  author = {Ronald Christensen},
  edition = {Second},
  note = {496p},
}

cheers,
Paul
