[R] Interpreting Q-Q Plots

   My understanding of Q-Q plots is that if the tails of the plotted points
fall above or below the x=y line the distribution of observed/measured
values is under or over dispersed. But, how do I interpret measured values
that are in horizontal lines? The attached plot illustrates this situation.

TIA,

Rich
