Quantiles <strong>of</strong> Exponential<br />

mean<br />

Figure 2.2 Plot <strong>of</strong> quantiles <strong>of</strong> observed fragment lengths (from a subset <strong>of</strong> GM07535 optical<br />

maps) against quantiles <strong>of</strong> an exponential distribution. The rate is chosen so that <strong>the</strong> curve<br />

is parallel to <strong>the</strong> diagonal except near <strong>the</strong> origin. This is clearer in <strong>the</strong> second panel, which is<br />

obtained by rotating <strong>the</strong> first clockwise by 45 ◦ . This additive shift in <strong>the</strong> Q-Q plot caused by<br />

truncation is a feature unique to <strong>the</strong> exponential distribution that follows from its memoryless<br />

property.
