function chiqqplot(y,p,class)

%CHIQQPLOT produces a Quantile-Quantile-plot of the vector y 
% versus the square root of the quantiles of the chi-squared distribution.
%
% Required input arguments:
%       y  : row or column vector 
%       p  : degrees of freedom of the chi-squared distribution 
%
% Optional input argument:
%    class : a string used for the y-label and the title(default: ' ')
%
% I/O: chiqqplot(y,p,class)
%
% This function is part of LIBRA: the Matlab Library for Robust Analysis,
