The notation that you have used is somewhat ambiguous, in that N(2,3) typically denotes the normal CDF (or sometimes the PDF), neither of which being the quantile function qnorm(). But as to your specific question, the IPSUR plugin for the R Commander will plot quantile functions. After installing Rcdmr and RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR (version >= 0.1-5), do library(RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR) and after the Commander restarts take a look at the "Distributions" menu. You can plot any of the above. In addition, you will have code echoed to you for the console that you can use for other problems. Best wishes, Jay *************************************************** G.
