Plot Number of Categories Per Year - r

I have some data that I need to graph in R. There are two columns of data. The first one is a series of years ranging from 2001 to 2011. The second column is a string. The strings can be anything. I need to make a multi-line graph ( I was trying to use ggplot ) where the occurences of a string is on the y-axis and the year is on the x-axis.
I don't really have much of an idea where to start. This is what I had but I'm not sure if this is correct.
year <- data$year
# Idk how to get occurences per year
# year_2001 <- data$string[data$year == 2001]
# would this work?
# ggplot + geom_line()
I know most of that is commented out but that's because I'm new to R. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here is one way to get it done.
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
set.seed(272727)
data <- data.frame(year = sample(2001:2011, 100, replace = TRUE),
string = sample(letters[1:5], 100, replace = TRUE))
# this is what will be plotted
table(data$string, data$year)
dataSummary <- as.data.frame(xtabs(~year+string, data))
ggplot(dataSummary, aes(x = year, y = Freq, group = string, colour = string)) + geom_line()
Note my previous answer used dplyr, but it had an issue with year-string combinations that are zero length. See dplyr summarise: Equivalent of ".drop=FALSE" to keep groups with zero length in output.

break down date into year and month

I have a df with date under column "månad" in format 2020M07.
When I plot this the x-axis gets all crowded and instead of plotting a continuous line I want to create a series per year and the x-axis only contain month.
In order to do this I need to have a col. in my df with only year so I can group on that variable (in ggplot), AND I also need to have a col. w only month (for x-data input in ggplot). How do I use the "månad" column to achieve this? Is there like in excel a LEFT-function or something that you can use with the dplyr function mutate? Or else how do I do this?
Maybe my idea isn't the best, feel free to answer both to my suggested solution and if you got a better one!
Thanks!

Plotting only 1 hourly datapoint (1 per day) alongside hourly points (24 per day) in R Studio

I am a bit stuck with some code. Of course I would appreciate a piece of code which sorts my dilemma, but I am also grateful for hints of how to sort that out.
Here goes:
First of all, I installed the packages (ggplot2, lubridate, and openxlsx)
The relevant part:
I extract a file from an Italians gas TSO website:
Storico_G1 <- read.xlsx(xlsxFile = "http://www.snamretegas.it/repository/file/Info-storiche-qta-gas-trasportato/dati_operativi/2017/DatiOperativi_2017-IT.xlsx",sheet = "Storico_G+1", startRow = 1, colNames = TRUE)
Then I created a data frame with the variables I want to keep:
Storico_G1_df <- data.frame(Storico_G1$pubblicazione, Storico_G1$IMMESSO, Storico_G1$`SBILANCIAMENTO.ATTESO.DEL.SISTEMA.(SAS)`)
Then change the time format:
Storico_G1_df$pubblicazione <- ymd_h(Storico_G1_df$Storico_G1.pubblicazione)
Now the struggle begins. Since in this example I would like to chart the 2 time series with 2 different Y axes because the ranges are very different. This is not really a problem as such, because with the melt function and ggplot i can achieve that. However, since there are NAs in 1 column, I dont know how I can work around that. Since, in the incomplete (SAS) column, I mainly care about the data point at 16:00, I would ideally have hourly plots on one chart and only 1 datapoint a day on the second chart (at said 16:00). I attached an unrelated example pic of a chart style I mean. However, in the attached chart, I have equally many data points on both charts and hence it works fine.
Grateful for any hints.
Take care
library(lubridate)
library(ggplot2)
library(openxlsx)
library(dplyr)
#Use na.strings it looks like NAs can have many values in the dataset
storico.xl <- read.xlsx(xlsxFile = "http://www.snamretegas.it/repository/file/Info-storiche-qta-gas-trasportato/dati_operativi/2017/DatiOperativi_2017-IT.xlsx",
sheet = "Storico_G+1", startRow = 1,
colNames = TRUE,
na.strings = c("NA","N.D.","N.D"))
#Select and rename the crazy column names
storico.g1 <- data.frame(storico.xl) %>%
select(pubblicazione, IMMESSO, SBILANCIAMENTO.ATTESO.DEL.SISTEMA..SAS.)
names(storico.g1) <- c("date_hour","immesso","sads")
# the date column look is in the format ymd_h
storico.g1 <- storico.g1 %>% mutate(date_hour = ymd_h(date_hour))
#Not sure exactly what you want to plot, but here is each point by hour
ggplot(storico.g1, aes(x= date_hour, y = immesso)) + geom_line()
#For each day you can group, need to format the date_hour for a day
#You can check there are 24 points per day
#feed the new columns into the gplot
storico.g1 %>%
group_by(date = as.Date(date_hour, "d-%B-%y-")) %>%
summarise(count = n(),
daily.immesso = sum(immesso)) %>%
ggplot(aes(x = date, y = daily.immesso)) + geom_line()

Subset data frame based on top N most frequent values in variable

My objective is to create a simple density or barplot of a long dataframe which shows the relative frequency of nationalities in a course (MOOC). I just don't want all of the nationalities in there, just the top 10. I created this example df below + the ggplot2 code I use for plotting.
d=data.frame(course=sample(LETTERS[1:5], 500,replace=T),nationality=as.factor(sample(1:172,500,replace=T)))
mm <- ggplot(d, aes(x=nationality, colour=factor(course)))
mm + geom_bar() + theme_classic()
...but as said: I want a subset of the entire dataset based on frequency. The above shows all data.
PS. I added the ggplot2 code for context but also because maybe there is something within ggplot2 itself that would make this possible (I doubt it however).
EDIT 2014-12-11:
The current answers use ddplyr or table methods to arrive at the desired subset, but I wonder if there is not a more direct way to achieve the same.. I will let it stay for now, see if there are other ways.
Using dplyr functions count and top_n to get top-10 nationalities. Because top_n accounts for ties, the number of nationalities included in this example are more than 10 due to ties. arrange the counts, use factor and levels to set nationalities in descending order.
# top-10 nationalities
d2 <- d %>%
count(nationality) %>%
top_n(10) %>%
arrange(n, nationality) %>%
mutate(nationality = factor(nationality, levels = unique(nationality)))
d %>%
filter(nationality %in% d2$nationality) %>%
mutate(nationality = factor(nationality, levels = levels(d2$nationality))) %>%
ggplot(aes(x = nationality, fill = course)) +
geom_bar()
Here's an approach to select the top 10 nationalities. Note that multiple nationalities share the same frequency. Therefore, selecting the top 10 results in omitting some nationalities with the same frequency.
# calculate frequencies
tab <- table(d$nationality)
# sort
tab_s <- sort(tab)
# extract 10 most frequent nationalities
top10 <- tail(names(tab_s), 10)
# subset of data frame
d_s <- subset(d, nationality %in% top10)
# order factor levels
d_s$nationality <- factor(d_s$nationality, levels = rev(top10))
# plot
ggplot(d_s, aes(x = nationality, fill = as.factor(course))) +
geom_bar() +
theme_classic()
Note that I changed colour to fill since colour affects the colour of the border.
although the questions was raised some time ago, I propose two other solutions for the sake of completeness:
d_raw <- data.frame(
course = sample(LETTERS[1:5], 500, replace = T),
nationality = as.factor(sample(1:172, 500, replace=T))
)
One using fct_lump_n() from the forcats package and filter()
d1 <- d_raw %>%
mutate(nationality = fct_lump_n(
f = nationality,
n = 10,
ties.method = "first"
)) %>%
filter(nationality != "Other")
d1 %>% count(nationality, sort = TRUE)
ggplot(d1, aes(x = nationality, fill = course)) + # factor() is not needed here.
geom_bar() +
theme_classic()
fct_lump_n() summarises all nationalities except for the 10 most frequent ones to category "Other". Note that in fct_lump_n() argument ties.method = "first" is needed to really get only the first ten nationalities, not 11 or 12. All other nationalities are labeled "Other" even though they may appear just as often as the first ten nationalities.
Levels of nationality are only ordered alphabetically.
Another solution is using fct_infreq() from the forcats package, cur_group_id() and filter().
d2 <- d_raw %>%
group_by(nationality = fct_infreq(nationality)) %>%
filter(cur_group_id() <= 10) %>%
ungroup()
d2 %>% count(nationality, sort = TRUE)
ggplot(d2, aes(x = nationality, fill = course)) + # factor() is not needed here.
geom_bar() +
theme_classic()
cur_group_id() assigns a group ID to every nationality. To get started with the most frequent nationality we first need to order column nationality by its frequencies. Then we filter for the first ten group IDs aka the ten most frequent nationalities.
Levels of nationality are first ordered by n, then ordered alphabetically.
I used count() to verify the two data frames d1 and d2 look the same.
Both solutions have the advantage, that we don't need a second (temporary) data frame or temporary vectors.
I hope this helps someone in the future.

Subset boxplots by date, order x-axis by month [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is the most elegant way to split data and produce seasonal boxplots?
(3 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a year's worth of data spanning two calendar years. I want to plot boxplots for those data subset by month.
The plots will always be ordered alphabetically (if I use month names) or numerically (if I use month numbers). Neither suits my purpose.
In the example below, I want the months on the x-axis to start at June (2013) and end in May (2014).
date <- seq.Date(as.Date("2013-06-01"), as.Date("2014-05-31"), "days")
set.seed(100)
x <- as.integer(abs(rnorm(365))*1000)
df <- data.frame(date, x)
boxplot(df$x ~ months(df$date), outline = FALSE)
I could probably generate a vector of the months in the order I need (e.g. months <- months(seq.Date(as.Date("2013-06-01"), as.Date("2014-05-31"), "month")))
Is there a more elegant way to do this? What am I missing?
Are you looking for something like this :
boxplot(df$x ~ reorder(format(df$date,'%b %y'),df$date), outline = FALSE)
I am using reorder to reorder your data according to dates. I am also formatting dates to skip day part since it is you aggregate your boxplot by month.
Edit :
If you want to skip year part ( but why ? personally I find this a little bit confusing):
boxplot(df$x ~ reorder(format(df$date,'%B'),df$date), outline = FALSE)
EDIT2 a ggplot2 solution:
Since you are in marketing field and you are learning ggplot2 :)
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df) +
geom_boxplot(aes(y=x,
x=reorder(format(df$date,'%B'),df$date),
fill=format(df$date,'%Y'))) +
xlab('Month') + guides(fill=guide_legend(title="Year")) +
theme_bw()
I had a similar problem where I wanted to order the plot January to December. This seems to be a common cause of vexation for people, here is my solution:
date <- seq.Date(as.Date("2013-06-01"), as.Date("2014-05-31"), "days")
set.seed(100)
x <- as.integer(abs(rnorm(365))*1000)
months <- month.name
boxplot(x~as.POSIXlt(date)$mon,names=months, outline = FALSE)
Found an answer here - use a factor, not a date:
set.seed(100)
x <- as.integer(abs(rnorm(365))*1000)
df <- data.frame(date, x)
# create an ordered factor
m <- months(seq.Date(as.Date("2013-06-01"), as.Date("2014-05-31"), "month"))
df$months <- factor(months(df$date), levels = m)
# plot x axis as ordered
boxplot(df$x ~ df$months, outline = FALSE)

How to use ggplot to group and show top X categories?

I am trying to use use ggplot to plot production data by company and use the color of the point to designate year. The follwoing chart shows a example based on sample data:
However, often times my real data has 50-60 different comapnies wich makes the Company names on the Y axis to be tiglhtly grouped and not very asteticly pleaseing.
What is th easiest way to show data for only the top 5 companies information (ranked by 2011 quanties) and then show the rest aggregated and shown as "Other"?
Below is some sample data and the code I have used to create the sample chart:
# create some sample data
c=c("AAA","BBB","CCC","DDD","EEE","FFF","GGG","HHH","III","JJJ")
q=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
y=c(2010)
df1=data.frame(Company=c, Quantity=q, Year=y)
q=c(3,4,7,8,5,14,7,13,2,1)
y=c(2011)
df2=data.frame(Company=c, Quantity=q, Year=y)
df=rbind(df1, df2)
# create plot
p=ggplot(data=df,aes(Quantity,Company))+
geom_point(aes(color=factor(Year)),size=4)
p
I started down the path of a brute force approach but thought there is probably a simple and elegent way to do this that I should learn. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
What about this:
df2011 <- subset (df, Year == 2011)
companies <- df2011$Company [order (df2011$Quantity, decreasing = TRUE)]
ggplot (data = subset (df, Company %in% companies [1 : 5]),
aes (Quantity, Company)) +
geom_point (aes (color = factor (Year)), size = 4)
BTW: in order for the code to be called elegant, spend a few more spaces, they aren't that expensive...
See if this is what you want. It takes your df dataframe, and some of the ideas already suggested by #cbeleites. The steps are:
1.Select 2011 data and order the companies from highest to lowest on Quantity.
2.Split df into two bits: dftop which contians the data for the top 5; and dfother, which contains the aggregated data for the other companies (using ddply() from the plyr package).
3.Put the two dataframes together to give dfnew.
4.Set the order for which levels of Company are plotted: Top to bottom is highest to lowest, then "Other". The order is partly given by companies, plus "Other".
5.Plot as before.
library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
# Step 1
df2011 <- subset (df, Year == 2011)
companies <- df2011$Company [order (df2011$Quantity, decreasing = TRUE)]
# Step 2
dftop = subset(df, Company %in% companies [1:5])
dftop$Company = droplevels(dftop$Company)
dfother = ddply(subset(df, !(Company %in% companies [1:5])), .(Year), summarise, Quantity = sum(Quantity))
dfother$Company = "Other"
# Step 3
dfnew = rbind(dftop, dfother)
# Step 4
dfnew$Company = factor(dfnew$Company, levels = c("Other", rev(as.character(companies)[1:5])))
levels(dfnew$Company) # Check that the levels are in the correct order
# Step 5
p = ggplot (data = dfnew, aes (Quantity, Company)) +
geom_point (aes (color = factor (Year)), size = 4)
p
The code produces:
