Q-Q plot equivalent for discrete variable?

[bradyj7]

Hello,

You can use a Q-Q plot to visually test if 2 continuous variables are from the same distribution and you get a straight line.

Is there a way to visually test if 2 discrete variables are from the same distribution? Also is there a way to test it mathematically?

Thanks

You can do a Q-Q plot for discrete data, but it's a bit more tricky, i'll try to find a source for you.

Hi there,

Apart from using a Q-Q plot is there any other way to test if two variables have the same distribution?

Thanks

A chisquare test?
