Conditional colouring of a geom_smooth - r

I'm analyzing a series that varies around zero. And to see where there are parts of the series with a tendency to be mostly positive or mostly negative I'm plotting a geom_smooth. I was wondering if it is possible to have the color of the smooth line be dependent on whether or not it is above or below 0. Below is some code that produces a graph much like what I am trying to create.
set.seed(5)
r <- runif(22, max = 5, min = -5)
t <- rep(-5:5,2)
df <- data.frame(r+t,1:22)
colnames(df) <- c("x1","x2")
ggplot(df, aes(x = x2, y = x1)) + geom_hline() + geom_line() + geom_smooth()
I considered calculating the smoothed values, adding them to the df and then using a scale_color_gradient, but I was wondering if there is a way to achieve this in ggplot directly.

You may use the n argument in geom_smooth to increase "number of points to evaluate smoother at" in order to create some more y values close to zero. Then use ggplot_build to grab the smoothed values from the ggplot object. These values are used in a geom_line, which is added on top of the original plot. Last we overplot the y = 0 values with the geom_hline.
# basic plot with a larger number of smoothed values
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x = x2, y = x1)) +
geom_line() +
geom_smooth(linetype = "blank", n = 10000)
# grab smoothed values
df2 <- ggplot_build(p)[[1]][[2]][ , c("x", "y")]
# add smoothed values with conditional color
p +
geom_line(data = df2, aes(x = x, y = y, color = y > 0)) +
geom_hline(yintercept = 0)

Something like this:
# loess data
res <- loess.smooth(df$x2, df$x1)
res <- data.frame(do.call(cbind, res))
res$posY <- ifelse(res$y >= 0, res$y, NA)
res$negY <- ifelse(res$y < 0, res$y, NA)
# plot
ggplot(df, aes(x = x2, y = x1)) +
geom_hline() +
geom_line() +
geom_line(data=res, aes(x = x, y = posY, col = "green")) +
geom_line(data=res, aes(x = x, y = negY, col = "red")) +
scale_color_identity()

Use of inverse parameter in trans_new scales package

I've been trying to use the function trans_new with the scales package however I can't get it to display labels correctly
# percent to fold change
fun1 <- function(x) (x/100) + 1
# fold change to percent
inv_fun1 <- function(x) (x - 1) * 100
percent_to_fold_change_trans <- trans_new(name = "transform", transform = fun1, inverse = inv_fun1)
plot_data <- data.frame(x = 1:10,
y = inv_fun1(1:10))
# Plot raw data
p1 <- ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point()
# This doesn't really change the plot
p2 <- ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point() +
coord_trans(y = percent_to_fold_change_trans)
p1 and p2 are identical whereas I'm expecting p2 to be a diagonal line since we are reversing the inverting function. If I replace the inverse parameter in trans_new with another function (like fun(x) x) I can see the correct transformation but the labels are completely off. Any ideas of how to define the inverse parameters to get the right label positions?
You wouldn't expect a linear function like fun1 to change the appearance of the y axis. Remember, you are not transforming the data, you are transforming the y axis. This means that you are effectively changing the positions of the horizontal gridlines, but not the values they represent.
Any function that produces a linear transformation will result in fixed spacing between the horizontal grid lines, which is what you have already. The plot therefore won't change.
Let's take a simple example:
plot_data <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = 1:10)
p <- ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point() +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = 1:10)
p
Now let's create a straightforward non-linear transformation:
little_trans <- trans_new(name = "transform",
transform = function(x) x^2,
inverse = function(x) sqrt(x))
p + coord_trans(y = little_trans)
Note the values on the y axis are the same, but because we applied a non-linear transformation, the distances between the gridlines now varies.
In fact, if we plot a transformed version of our data, we would get the same shape:
ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = y^2)) +
geom_point() +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = (1:10)^2)
In a sense, this is all that the transform does, except it applies the inverse transform to the axis labels. We could do that manually here:
ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = y^2)) +
geom_point() +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = (1:10)^2, labels = sqrt((1:10)^2))
Now, suppose I instead do a more complicated but linear function of x:
little_trans <- trans_new(name = "transform",
transform = function(x) (0.1 * x + 20) / 3,
inverse = function(x) (x * 3 - 20) / 0.1)
ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point() +
coord_trans(y = little_trans)
It's unchanged from before. We can see why if we again apply our transform directly:
ggplot(plot_data, aes(x = x, y = (0.1 * y + 20) / 3)) +
geom_point() +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = (0.1 * (1:10) + 20) / 3)
Obviously, if we do the inverse transform on the axis labels we will have 1:10, which means we will just have the original plot back.
The same holds true for any linear transform, and therefore the results you are getting are exactly what are to be expected.

why geom_smooth not showing the smooth line?

I am having a problem where geom_smooth() is not working on my ggplot2.
But instead of a smooth curve, there is a fold.
My X-axis variable is the factor variable(I've tried to convert it to a numerical variable, but it didn't work), and Y-axis is numeric variable.
My data.frame is that
ggplot(tmp, aes(x = x, y = y))+
geom_point()+
geom_smooth(formula = y ~ x, method = "loess", stat = "identity", se = T, group = "")
I hope to get a pic like this.
A quick fix will be to wrap the group inside aes. Generated a data similar to the structure you have (a factor x variable and a numeric y var).
set.seed(777)
x <- rep(c(LETTERS[1:7]), 3)
y <- rnorm(21, mean = 0, sd = 1)
tmp <- data.frame(x,y)
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
base <- ggplot(tmp, aes(x = x, y = y))+geom_point()
base + geom_smooth(formula = y ~ x, method = "loess",se = TRUE, aes(group = "" ), level = 0.95) + theme_bw()
If you want to use a different level of confidence interval, you can change the value of level (which is a 95% by default).

Adjusting axis in ggtern ternary plots

I am trying to generate a ternary plot using ggtern.
My data ranges from 0 - 1000 for x, y,and z variables. I wondered if it is possible to extend the axis length above 100 to represent my data.
#Nevrome is on the right path, your points will still be plotted as 'compositions', ie, concentrations sum to unity, but you can change the labels of the axes, to indicate a range from 0 to 1000.
library(ggtern)
set.seed(1)
df = data.frame(x = runif(10)*1000,
y = runif(10)*1000,
z = runif(10)*1000)
breaks = seq(0,1,by=0.2)
ggtern(data = df, aes(x, y, z)) +
geom_point() +
limit_tern(breaks=breaks,labels=1000*breaks)
I think there is no direct solution to do this with ggtern. But an easy workaround could look like this:
library(ggtern)
df = data.frame(x = runif(50)*1000,
y = runif(50)*1000,
z = runif(50)*1000,
Group = as.factor(round(runif(50,1,2))))
ggtern() +
geom_point(data = df, aes(x/10, y/10, z/10, color = Group)) +
labs(x="X", y="Y", z="Z", title="Title") +
scale_T_continuous(breaks = seq(0,1,0.2), labels = 1000*seq(0,1,0.2)) +
scale_L_continuous(breaks = seq(0,1,0.2), labels = 1000*seq(0,1,0.2)) +
scale_R_continuous(breaks = seq(0,1,0.2), labels = 1000*seq(0,1,0.2))

ggplot: Plotting the bins on x-axis and the average on y-axis

Suppose that I have a dataframe that looks like this:
data <- data.frame(y = rnorm(10,0,1), x = runif(10,0,1))
What I would like to do is to cut the x values into bins, such as:
data$bins <- cut(data$x,breaks = 4)
Then, I would like to plot (using ggplot) the result in a way that the x-axis is the bins, and the y axis is the mean of data$y data points that fall into the corresponding bin.
Thank you in advance
You can use the stat_summary() function.
library(ggplot2)
data <- data.frame(y = rnorm(10,0,1), x = runif(10,0,1))
data$bins <- cut(data$x,breaks = 4)
# Points:
ggplot(data, aes(x = bins, y = y)) +
stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", geom = "point")
# Histogram bars:
ggplot(data, aes(x = bins, y = y)) +
stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", geom = "histogram")
Here is the picture of the points:
This thread is a bit old but here you go, use stat_summary_bin (it might be in the newer versions).
ggplot(data, mapping=aes(x, y)) +
stat_summary_bin(fun.y = "mean", geom="bar", bins=4 - 1) +
ylab("mean")
Since the mean of your y values can be smaller than 0, I recommend a dot plot instead of a bar chart. The dots represent the means. You can use either qplot or the regular ggplot function. The latter is more customizable. In this example, both produce the same output.
library(ggplot2)
set.seed(7)
data <- data.frame(y = rnorm(10,0,1), x = runif(10,0,1))
data$bins <- cut(data$x,breaks = 4, dig.lab = 2)
qplot(bins, y, data = data, stat="summary", fun.y = "mean")
ggplot(data, aes(x = factor(bins), y = y)) +
stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "point")
You can also add error bars. In this case, they show the mean +/- 1.96 times the group standard deviation. The group mean and SD can be obtained using tapply.
m <- tapply(data$y, data$bins, mean)
sd <- tapply(data$y, data$bins, sd)
df <- data.frame(mean.y = m, sd = sd, bin = names(m))
ggplot(df, aes(x = bin, y = mean.y,
ymin = mean.y - 1.96*sd,
ymax = mean.y + 1.96*sd)) +
geom_errorbar() + geom_point(size = 3)

Using ggplot2 how can I plot points with an aes() after plotting lines?

I'm using ggplot2 to show lines and points on a plot. What I am trying to do is to have the lines all the same color, and then to show the points colored by an attribute. My code is as follows:
# Data frame
dfDemo <- structure(list(Y = c(0.906231077471568, 0.569073561538186,
0.0783433165521566, 0.724580209473378, 0.359136092118470, 0.871301974471722,
0.400628333618918, 1.41778205350433, 0.932081770977729, 0.198188442350644
), X = c(0.208755495088456, 0.147750173706688, 0.0205864576474412,
0.162635017485883, 0.118877260137735, 0.186538613831806, 0.137831912094464,
0.293293029083812, 0.219247919537514, 0.0323148791663826), Z = c(11112951L,
11713300L, 14331476L, 11539301L, 12233602L, 15764099L, 10191778L,
12070774L, 11836422L, 15148685L)), .Names = c("Y", "X", "Z"
), row.names = c(NA, 10L), class = "data.frame")
# Variables
X = array(0.1,100)
Y = seq(length=100, from=0, by=0.01)
# make data frame
dfAll <- data.frame()
# make data frames using loop
for (x in c(1:10)){
# spacemate calc
Floors = array(x,100)
# include label
Label = paste(' ', toString(x), sep="")
df1 <- data.frame(X = X * x, Y = Y, Label)
# merge df1 to cumulative df, dfAll
dfAll <- rbind(dfAll, df1)
}
# plot
pl <- ggplot(dfAll, aes(x = X, y = Y, group = Label, colour = 'Measures')) + geom_line()
# add points to plot
pl + geom_point(data=dfDemo, aes(x = X, y = Y)) + opts(legend.position = "none")
This almost works, but I am unable to color the points by Z when I do this. I can plot the points separately, colored by Z using the following code:
ggplot(dfDemo, aes(x = X, y = Y, colour = Z)) + geom_point()
However, if I use the similar code after plotting the lines:
pl + geom_point(data=dfDemo, aes(x = X, y = Y, colour = Z)) + opts(legend.position = "none")
I get the following error:
Error: Continuous variable () supplied to discrete scale_hue.
I don't understand how to add the points to the chart so that I can colour them by a value. I appreciate any suggestion how to solve this.
The issue is that they are colliding the two colour scales, one from the ggplot call and the other from geom_point. If you want the lines of one colour and the points of different colours then you need to erase the colour setting from ggplot call and put it inside the geom_line outside the aes call so it isn't mapped. Use I() to define the colour otherwise it will think is just a variable.
pl <- ggplot(dfAll, aes(x = X, y = Y, group = Label)) +
geom_line(colour = I("red"))
pl + geom_point(data=dfDemo, aes(x = X, y = Y, colour = Z)) +
opts(legend.position = "none")
