[R] overlaying frequency histograms or density plots in R

Thanks a lot Petr !

shall i uses "dodge" also for the RELATIVE FREQUENCY HISTOGRAMS :

p <- ggplot(iris, aes(x=Sepal.Length, y=..count../sum(..count..)*100,
colour=Species))
p+geom_histogram(position="dodge")

or is there any other way to display the RELATIVE FREQUENCY HISTOGRAMS ?

thanks again !

[R] overlaying frequency histograms or density plots in R

Hi.



My understanding is that position dodge places each bar in each histogram 
beside each other and position stack places all respective bars atop each 
other.



Relative frequency is something different.



Cheers

Petr

You should use position dodge.

[R] overlaying frequency histograms or density plots in R

Hello,

First of all, I believe you want argument fill, not colour. In ggplot2 
colour is about the border and fill about the interior.

As for the question,

1. Create a basic plot with the common aesthetics.


library(ggplot2)

pp_ALL <- iris[c(1, 5)]
names(pp_ALL) <- c("VALUE", "EXP")

p <- ggplot(data = pp_ALL, mapping = aes(x = VALUE, fill = EXP))



2. geom_density should use alpha transparency, since the densities 
overlap. colour = NA removes the densities black border.


p + geom_density(alpha = 0.5, colour = NA)


3. y = ..density.. plots relative frequencies histograms, for the 
default absolute frequencies or counts, comment the mapping out.

position = position_dodge() allows for extra goodies, such as to change 
the space between bars, their width or to keep empty spaces when some 
factor levels are missing (preserve = "single").

For the test data, with 50 elements per factor level, use a much smaller 
number of bins.

Package scales has functions to display labels in percent format, there 
is no need to multiply by 100.


p + geom_histogram(
   mapping = aes(y = ..density..),
   position = position_dodge(),
   bins = 10)

p + geom_histogram(
   mapping = aes(y = ..density..),
   position = position_dodge(),
   bins = 10) +
   scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::label_percent())


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
