Talk:Rankit

In my last edit summary, I should have said it's a normal probability plot regardless of whether the underlying distribution is normal. Rankits are based on a normal distribution. Normal probability plots are used in order (among other things) diagnose non-normality! Michael Hardy 23:49, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This topic seems extremely obscure. Even the reference link gives nothing on what a rankit is. A search on Google turns up extremely little. Even information on the Mr. Bliss is very scarce. So, the question is: is this something that people actually use? It seems that its utility is very, very low relative to the Q-Q plot. Can anyone demonstrate real utilization of it? I'd like to suggest removing this topic as an idea that not only never caught on, because it is basically useless.
