[R] ggplot, ribbon not showing up properly

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Sock,

I'm wondering if that mean_sdl function is return what you are
expecting. I would calculate the statistics outside ggplot.

RibbonData <- ddply(dat.less, "Day", function(x){
	mean(x$Y) + c(ymin = -1, ymax = 1) * sd(x$Y)
})
p + stat_summary(data=dat.less, aes(group=1), geom="crossbar",
fun.data="mean_sdl", mult=1) + geom_ribbon(data = RibbonData, aes(group
= 1, ymin = ymin, ymax = ymax), fill=alpha("blue", 1/10))

HTH,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

Onderwerp: [R] ggplot, ribbon not showing up properly

Hi,

I'm trying to plot a longitudinal data set, using ggplot and adding some
summary info (eg. mean, 1 sd bounds) using geom=ribbon.  The summary
info is based on a subset of the original data (eg. less an outlier). 
But I'm having trouble getting the ribbons to show up correctly.  It's
probably something obvious that I'm missing as a novice at ggplot2, and
any help is much appreciated!

Here's a simple example.  I tried several things.  
- if I use geom=crossbar, everything is ok
- if Day is set as rep(c(1,2,3,8,9), each=8), then everything is ok,
which makes me wonder if the problem has to do with the ordering of Day?
 Day is supposed to be numeric.  

Thanks!
Sock

### Example data.  Ran using R version 2.9.2, ggplot2 version 0.8.3 ###

set.seed(13)

Day <- rep(c(1, 2, 3, 8, 20), each=8)      
# The plot is ok if Day <- rep(c(1,2,3,8,9), each=8)

ID <- rep(LETTERS[1:8], 5)
Y <- rnorm(length(Day), 100, 5)
dat <- data.frame(Day=Day, ID=ID, Y=Y)

 # outlier
dat$Y[dat$ID=="A" & dat$Day==8] <- 150         
dat.less <- dat[!(dat$ID=="A" & dat$Day==8),]   

# Longitudinal data plot.  Obs for each subject is connected by a line
over time

p <- ggplot(dat, aes(x=Day, y=Y, group=ID)) +
scale_x_continuous(breaks=sort(unique(dat$Day))) +
geom_line(colour=alpha("blue", 5/10))

# Adding mean, 1 sd bounds using crossbar geom is ok.  But the same info
using ribbon geom doesn't work. 

p + stat_summary(data=dat.less, aes(group=1), geom="crossbar",
fun.data="mean_sdl", mult=1) + stat_summary(data=dat.less, aes(group=1),
geom="ribbon", fun.data="mean_sdl", mult=1, fill=alpha("blue", 1/10))
