Follow-up to #814.

heavy_tails reaches for sm.qqplot with only a Wikipedia link by way of explanation, having never said what a Q-Q plot is or how to read one. Now that {doc}fitting_distributions defines them — the $i$-th order statistic against the fitted quantile, and what curvature and S-shapes mean — this section can cite that treatment and move straight to the comparison it actually wants.

The sm.qqplot calls and both figures are unchanged; only the framing around them.

Also in this diff

  • A typo in the same paragraph. It said statsmodels compares sample data with "the quintiles of the normal distribution". Quantiles.
  • A (qq_plots)= label added to the Q-Q plot section of fitting_distributions, so the cross-reference has a target.
  • Heading lower-cased to "Q-Q plots" per the style guide's rule that only the first word of a non-title heading is capitalized. The anchor is unchanged (q-q-plots), and nothing in the series links to it, so no references break.

Adds a (qq_plots)= label to the Q-Q plot section of fitting_distributions so
the reference has something to point at.

Also fixes a typo in the same paragraph: statsmodels compares sample data
with the quantiles of the normal distribution, not the quintiles. And lower
cases the heading per the style guide, which leaves the anchor unchanged.
