I'm using ggplot2 and am trying to generate a plot which shows the following data.
df=data.frame(score=c(4,2,3,5,7,6,5,6,4,2,3,5,4,8), age=c(18,18,23,50,19,39,19,23,22,22,40,35,22,16)) str(df) df
Instead of doing a frequency plot of the variables (see below code), I want to generate a plot of the average values for each x value. So I want to plot the average score at each age level. At age 18 on the x axis, we might have a 3 on the y axis for score. At age 23, we might have an average score of 4.5, and so forth (Edit: average values corrected). This would ideally be represented with a barplot.
ggplot(df, aes(x=factor(age), y=factor(score))) + geom_bar() Error: stat_count() must not be used with a y aesthetic.
Just not sure how to do this in R with ggplot2 and can't seem to find anything on such plots. Statisticially, I don't know if the plot I desire to plot is even the right thing to do, but that's a different store.
Thanks!
The function geom_point() adds a layer of points to your plot, which creates a scatterplot.
Both packages achieved very similar results. But the contour lines, labels, and legend in matplotlib are superior to ggplot2.
You can use summary functions in ggplot
. Here are two ways of achieving the same result:
# Option 1 ggplot(df, aes(x = factor(age), y = score)) + geom_bar(stat = "summary", fun = "mean") # Option 2 ggplot(df, aes(x = factor(age), y = score)) + stat_summary(fun = "mean", geom = "bar")
Older versions of ggplot
use fun.y
instead of fun
:
ggplot(df, aes(x = factor(age), y = score)) + stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", geom = "bar")
If I understood you right, you could try something like this:
library(plyr) library(ggplot2) ggplot(ddply(df, .(age), mean), aes(x=factor(age), y=factor(score))) + geom_bar()
