Add Legend In ggplot2 after adding geom_area - r

I have created a graph that overlays a normally distributed density plot on top of a previous density plot using the dnorm() function. However, I am having a difficult time adding a legend. Below is the code to create the plot with one of my attempts at adding a legend.
library(tidyverse)
my.data = rnorm(1000, 3, 10)
ggplot(enframe(my.data), aes(value)) +
geom_density(fill = "mediumseagreen", alpha = 0.1) +
geom_area(stat = "function", fun = function(x) dnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 5), fill = "red", alpha = .5)+
theme(legend.position="right")+
scale_color_manual("Line.Color", values=c(red="red",green="green"),
labels=paste0("Plot",1:2))
To summarize I am trying to add a legend to this plot that has labels "Plot1" and "Plot2"

There might be better answers. This is what I have achieved with several attemps:
library(tidyverse)
my.data = rnorm(1000, 3, 10)
ggplot(enframe(my.data), aes(value)) +
geom_density(aes(color = "Plot1", fill = "Plot1"), alpha = 0.1) +
geom_area(aes(color = "Plot2", fill = "Plot2"), stat = "function",
fun = function(x) dnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 5), alpha = .5)+
theme(legend.position="right") +
scale_color_manual(" ", values=c(Plot1="green", Plot2="red")) +
scale_fill_manual(" ", values=c(Plot1 ="green", Plot2="red"))

Stat function dnorm failure

I am working through a class problem to test if the central limit theorem applies to medians as well. I've written the code, and as far as I can tell, it is working just fine. But my dnorm stat to plot the normal distribution is not showing up. It just creates a flat line when it should create a bell curve. Here is the code:
set.seed(14)
median_clt <- rnorm(1000, mean = 10, sd = 2)
many_sample_medians <- function(vec, n, reps) {
rep_vec <- replicate(reps, sample(vec, n), simplify = "vector")
median_vec <- apply(rep_vec, 2, median)
return(median_vec)
}
median_clt_test <- many_sample_medians(median_clt, 500, 1000)
median_clt_test_df <- data.frame(median_clt_test)
bw_clt <- 2 * IQR(median_clt_test_df$median_clt_test) / length(median_clt_test_df$median_clt_test)^(1/3)
ggplot(median_clt_test_df, aes(x = median_clt_test)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth = bw_clt, aes(y = ..density..), fill = "hotpink1", col = "white") +
stat_function(fun = ~dnorm(.x, mean = 10, sd = 2), col = "darkorchid1", lwd = 2) +
theme_classic()
As far as I can tell, the rest of the code is working properly - it just doesn't plot the dnorm stat function correctly. The exact same stat line worked for me before, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong.
The line isn't quite flat; it's just very stretched out compared to the histogram. We can see this more clearly if we zoom out on the x axis and zoom in on the y axis:
ggplot(median_clt_test_df, aes(x = median_clt_test)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth = bw_clt, aes(y = ..density..),
fill = "hotpink1", col = "white") +
stat_function(fun = ~dnorm(.x, mean = 10, sd = 2),
col = "darkorchid1",
lwd = 2) +
xlim(c(5, 15)) +
coord_cartesian(xlim = c(5, 15), ylim = c(0, 1)) +
theme_classic()
But why is this?
It's because you are using dnorm to plot the distribution of the random variable from which the medians were drawn, but your histogram is a sample of the medians themselves. So you are plotting the wrong dnorm curve. The sd should not be the standard deviation of the random variable, but the standard deviation of the sample medians:
ggplot(median_clt_test_df, aes(x = median_clt_test)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth = bw_clt, aes(y = ..density..),
fill = "hotpink1", col = "white") +
stat_function(fun = ~dnorm(.x,
mean = mean(median_clt_test),
sd = sd(median_clt_test)),
col = "darkorchid1",
lwd = 2)
theme_classic()
If you prefer you could use the theoretical standard error of the mean instead of the measured standard deviation of your medians - these will be very similar.
# Theoretical SEM
2/sqrt(500)
#> [1] 0.08944272
# SD of medians
sd(median_clt_test)
#> [1] 0.08850221

Overlay a Normal Density Plot On Top of Data ggplot2

I plot a density curve using ggplot2. After I plot the data, I would like to add a normal density plot right on top of it with a fill.
Currently, I am using rnorm() to create the data but this is not efficient and would work poorly on small data sets.
library(tidyverse)
#my data that I want to plot
my.data = rnorm(1000, 3, 10)
#create the normal density plot to overlay the data
overlay.normal = rnorm(1000, 0, 5)
all = tibble(my.data = my.data, overlay.normal = overlay.normal)
all = melt(all)
ggplot(all, aes(value, fill = variable))+geom_density()
The goal would be to plot my data and overlay a normal distribution on top of it (with a fill). Something like:
ggplot(my.data)+geom_density()+add_normal_distribution(mean = 0, sd = 5, fill = "red)
Here's an approach using stat_function to define a normal curve and draw it within the ggplot call.
ggplot(my.data %>% enframe(), aes(value)) +
geom_density(fill = "mediumseagreen", alpha = 0.1) +
stat_function(fun = function(x) dnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 5),
color = "red", linetype = "dotted", size = 1)
I figured out the solution from mixing Jon's answer and an answer from Hadley.
my.data = rnorm(1000, 3, 10)
ggplot(my.data %>% enframe(), aes(value)) +
geom_density(fill = "mediumseagreen", alpha = 0.1) +
geom_area(stat = "function", fun = function(x) dnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 5), fill = "red", alpha = .5)

Histogram with normal Distribution in R using ggplot2 for illustrations

I'm trying to plot a histogram with ggplot2.
I wrote a simple code for this in R
dnorm.count <- function(x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE, n = 1, binwidth = 1){
n * binwidth * dnorm(x = x, mean = mean, sd = sd, log = log)
}
mtcars %>%
ggplot(aes(x = mpg)) +
geom_histogram(bins =60,color = "white", fill = "#9FE367",boundary = 0.5) +
geom_vline(aes(xintercept = mean(mpg)),
linetype="dashed",
size = 1.6,
color = "#FF0000")+
geom_text(aes(label = ..count..), stat= "count",vjust = -0.6)+
stat_function(fun = dnorm.count, color = "#6D67E3",
args = list(mean= mean(mtcars$mpg),
sd = sd(mtcars$mpg),
n = nrow(mtcars)),
lwd = 1.2) +
scale_y_continuous(labels = comma, name = "Frequency") +
scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(0,max(mtcars$mpg)))+
geom_text(aes(label = paste0("mean = ", round(mean(mtcars$mpg), 2)),
x = mean(mtcars$mpg)*1.2,
y = mean(mtcars$mpg)/5))+
geom_vline(aes(xintercept = sd(mpg)), linetype="dashed",size = 1.6, color = "#FF0000")
What I got is this!
The question is how do I Plot the histogram similar to this
using ggplot2 and is it possible to convert the code to R function?
Edit: For the better explanation of what I'm trying to do:
I wanna create a Histogram exactly the same as the one attached for reference using ggplot2 and then I wanna create a function for the same to reduce the coding. Use any package+ggplot2 you like. The histograms should have lines depicting the standard deviation & mean like the one in reference. If possible depict the standard deviation in the plot as the reference image, that's what I'm trying to achieve.
If your question how to plot histograms like the one you attached in your last figure, this 9 lines of code produce a very similar result.
library(magrittr) ; library(ggplot2)
set.seed(42)
data <- rnorm(1e5)
p <- data %>%
as.data.frame() %>%
ggplot(., aes(x = data)) +
geom_histogram(fill = "white", col = "black", bins = 30 ) +
geom_density(aes( y = 0.3 *..count..)) +
labs(x = "Statistics", y = "Probability/Density") +
theme_bw() + theme(axis.text = element_blank())
You could use annotate() to add symbols or text and geom_segment to show the intervals on the plot like this:
p + annotate(x = sd(data)/2 , y = 8000, geom = "text", label = "σ", size = 10) +
annotate(x = sd(data) , y = 6000, geom = "text", label = "2σ", size = 10) +
annotate(x = sd(data)*1.5 , y = 4000, geom = "text", label = "3σ", size = 10) +
geom_segment(x = 0, xend = sd(data), y = 7500, yend = 7500) +
geom_segment(x = 0, xend = sd(data)*2, y = 5500, yend = 5500) +
geom_segment(x = 0, xend = sd(data)*3, y = 3500, yend = 3500)
This chunk of code would give you something like this:

How to show percent labels on histogram bars using ggplot2

I have seen lots of question regarding converting count on y axis into percent but must of them are in bar plot.
I want to do similar thing in histogram but not able to show the labels on the bar clearly. Please tell me where I am doing wrong.
x = runif(100, min = 0, max = 10)
data1 <- data.frame(x = x)
ggplot(aes(x = x), data = data1)+
geom_histogram(aes(y = (..count..)/sum(..count..)), bins = 10, breaks =
seq(0,10,1), fill = "blue", col = "black")+
geom_text(aes(y = ((..count..)/sum(..count..)),
label = scales::percent((..count..)/sum(..count..))),
stat = "count", vjust = -10)+
scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent)
Output:
Use scale_y_continous with breaks and labels will solve your problem.
data1 <- data.frame (x = runif(100, min = 0, max = 10))
ggplot(aes(x=x), data1) + stat_bin(aes(y = ..count..))
ggplot(data1, aes(x = x)) + geom_histogram(fill = "blue", col = "black")+ scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0,10,1),labels = paste(seq(0, 10, by = 1) / 100, "%", sep = ""))+geom_text(aes(y = (..count..),label = scales::percent((..count..)/sum(..count..))), stat="bin",colour="green",vjust=2)
or, you can specify where you would like to add the percentage like this:
geom_text(aes(y = (..count..)+0.5))
of course you can change the color as well. from,
stat="bin",colour="your prefer color "
Also you can change the width of the bins as follows:
geom_histogram(fill = "blue", col = "black", binwidth = 0.5)

Using position_dodge within stat_summary for means and confidence intervals?

I'm trying to show data of two groups. I am using the ggplot2 package to graph the data and using stat_summary() to obtain a point estimate (mean) and 90% CI within the plot of the data. What I'd like is for the mean and confidence interval be structured off to the right of the points representing the distribution of the data. Currently, stat_summary() will simply impose the mean and CI over top of the distribution.
Here is an example of data that I am working with:
set.seed(9909)
Subjects <- 1:100
values <- c(rnorm(n = 50, mean = 30, sd = 5), rnorm(n = 50, mean = 35, sd = 8))
data <- cbind(Subjects, values)
group1 <- rep("group1", 50)
group2 <- rep("group2", 50)
group <- c(group1, group2)
data <- data.frame(data, group)
data
And this is what my current ggplot2 code looks like (distribution as points with the mean and 90% CI overlaid on top for each group):
ggplot(data, aes(x = group, y = values, group = 1)) +  
geom_point() +
stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", color = "red", size = 5, geom = "point") +
stat_summary(fun.data = "mean_cl_normal", color = "red", size = 2, geom = "errorbar", width = 0, fun.args = list(conf.int = 0.9)) + theme_bw()
Is it possible to get the mean and confidence intervals to position_dodge to the right of their respective groups?
You can use position_nudge:
ggplot(data, aes(x = group, y = values, group = 1)) +
geom_point() +
stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", color = "red", size = 5, geom = "point",
position=position_nudge(x = 0.1, y = 0)) +
stat_summary(fun.data = "mean_cl_normal", color = "red", size = 2,
geom = "errorbar", width = 0, fun.args = list(conf.int = 0.9),
position=position_nudge(x = 0.1, y = 0)) +
theme_bw()
