1. QQ Plot Quantile to Quantile Plot Quantile: QQ Plot:
Points taken at regular intervals from the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a random variable
QQ Plot:
Graphical method for comparing two probability distributions by plotting quantiles of their values against each other
Does not include spatial-temporal information

2. Quantiles If the data set have 10 values of:
3, 6, 7, 8, 8, 10, 13, 15, 16, 20
4 quantiles would result in:
10 x ¼ = 2.5, rounded to 3 => 7
10 x ½ = 5 => 8
10 x ¾ = 7.5, rounded to 8 => 15

5. Resampling Bootstrapping Jackknifing
Drawing sets of samples, with replacement from the original dataset
Different results each time
Jackknifing
Repeat the estimation leaving out part of the dataset each time
Repeatable
Work with any interpolation or trend-surface method
