Normal quantile-quantile plot of person standardized residuals

Produces a Q-Q plot of per-person standardized residuals. Under the fitted Rasch-family model the residuals are approximately N(0, 1), so deviations from the reference line diagnose distributional misfit that mean-square summaries may miss.

Usage

plot_residual_qq(
  fit,
  diagnostics = NULL,
  preset = c("standard", "publication", "compact", "monochrome"),
  draw = TRUE
)

Arguments

fit

An mfrm_fit.

diagnostics

Optional diagnose_mfrm() output; required entries are generated internally when absent.

preset

Visual preset.

draw

If TRUE, draw with base graphics.

Value

An mfrm_plot_data object with a data slot containing Person, Theoretical, Sample columns.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
toy <- load_mfrmr_data("example_core")
fit <- fit_mfrm(toy, "Person", c("Rater", "Criterion"), "Score",
                method = "JML", maxit = 30)
p <- plot_residual_qq(fit, draw = FALSE)
head(p$data$data)
# Look for: points hugging the y = x reference line. Heavy upper-
#   right tails indicate persons whose residual aggregates exceed
#   the standard normal expectation; pair with `plot_unexpected()`
#   for case-level follow-up. This is an exploratory screen; do
#   not treat tail behaviour as a definitive normality test.
