I have a daily time series and when trying to check for normality I am getting the QQ plot below. Any ideas as to what is the plot saying about my data?

1What do you think it thinks? Have you read about qqplot documentation? Have you looked at examples? What questions are you bringing? What would you do with an answer if you found it? also I like "qqPlot" over "qqnorm". It is a different library and has the upper and lower confidence intervals for each quantile. – EngrStudent Nov 10 '17 at 20:05

1Take a look at this site, there's good stuff that could help you to answer your question. For example, you can refer to this post: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/101274/how-to-interpret-a-qq-plot – Alejandro Carrera Nov 10 '17 at 20:06

Clearly, your data takes on discrete values. You might learn more with `table(x)` or `hist(x)` than you do with qqnorm. – G5W Nov 11 '17 at 14:53

Think what would make this closer to normal. Some counts of -1, -2, -3. ...? – Nick Cox Nov 27 '17 at 09:22
