\title{Creating and Plotting Randomized Quantile Residuals}
\description{
 This function plots worm plots, van Buuren and Fredriks M. (2001),  or QQ-plots of the normalized randomized quantile residuals (Dunn and Smyth, 1996) for a model using a discrete GAMLSS family distribution.    
}
\usage{
rqres.plot(obj = NULL, howmany = 6, plot.type = c("few", "all"), 
           type = c("wp", "QQ"),  xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, ...)
get.rqres(obj = NULL, howmany = 10, order = FALSE)           
           
}

\arguments{
  \item{obj}{a fitted GAMLSS model object from a "discrete" type of family }
  \item{howmany}{The number randomise  quantile residuals required i.e. \code{howmany=6}}
   \item{plot.type}{whether to plot few of the randomised quantile residual realisations, \code{"few"} in a separate plots (there must be less than 8)  or all   \code{"all"} in one plot (with their median)}
     \item{type}{whether to plot worm plots \code{"wp"}or QQ plots \code{"QQ"} with default worm plots}
     \item{xlim}{setting manually the \code{xlim} of the graph}
     \item{ylim}{setting manually the \code{ylim} of the graph}
     \item{order}{whether to order the ealization of randomised quantile residuals}
   \item{\dots}{for extra arguments to be passed to \code{wp()}}
}
\details{For discrete family distributions, the \code{\link{gamlss}()} function saves on exit one realization of randomized quantile residuals which 
can be plotted using the generic function \code{plot} which calls the \code{plot.gamlss}. Looking at only one realization can be misleading, so the 
current function creates QQ-plots for several 
realizations. The function allows up to 10 QQ-plots to be plotted. Occasionally  one wishes to create a lot of realizations 
and then take a median of them (separately for each ordered value) to create a single median realization. The option \code{all} in combinations 
with the option \code{howmany} creates a 
QQ-plot of the medians of the normalized randomized quantile residuals. These 'median' randomized quantile residuals can be saved using the option
(\code{save=TRUE}).  
 
}
\value{
  
  If \code{save} it is TRUE then the vector of the median residuals is saved.
