Density plots with multiple groups - r

I am trying to produce something similar to densityplot() from the lattice package, using ggplot2 after using multiple imputation with the mice package. Here is a reproducible example:
require(mice)
dt <- nhanes
impute <- mice(dt, seed = 23109)
x11()
densityplot(impute)
Which produces:
I would like to have some more control over the output (and I am also using this as a learning exercise for ggplot). So, for the bmi variable, I tried this:
bar <- NULL
for (i in 1:impute$m) {
foo <- complete(impute,i)
foo$imp <- rep(i,nrow(foo))
foo$col <- rep("#000000",nrow(foo))
bar <- rbind(bar,foo)
}
imp <-rep(0,nrow(impute$data))
col <- rep("#D55E00", nrow(impute$data))
bar <- rbind(bar,cbind(impute$data,imp,col))
bar$imp <- as.factor(bar$imp)
x11()
ggplot(bar, aes(x=bmi, group=imp, colour=col)) + geom_density()
+ scale_fill_manual(labels=c("Observed", "Imputed"))
which produces this:
So there are several problems with it:
The colours are wrong. It seems my attempt to control the colours is completely wrong/ignored
There are unwanted horizontal and vertical lines
I would like the legend to show Imputed and Observed but my code gives the error invalid argument to unary operator
Moreover, it seems like quite a lot of work to do what is accomplished in one line with densityplot(impute) - so I wondered if I might be going about this in the wrong way entirely ?
Edit: I should add the fourth problem, as noted by #ROLO:
.4. The range of the plots seems to be incorrect.

The reason it is more complicated using ggplot2 is that you are using densityplot from the mice package (mice::densityplot.mids to be precise - check out its code), not from lattice itself. This function has all the functionality for plotting mids result classes from mice built in. If you would try the same using lattice::densityplot, you would find it to be at least as much work as using ggplot2.
But without further ado, here is how to do it with ggplot2:
require(reshape2)
# Obtain the imputed data, together with the original data
imp <- complete(impute,"long", include=TRUE)
# Melt into long format
imp <- melt(imp, c(".imp",".id","age"))
# Add a variable for the plot legend
imp$Imputed<-ifelse(imp$".imp"==0,"Observed","Imputed")
# Plot. Be sure to use stat_density instead of geom_density in order
# to prevent what you call "unwanted horizontal and vertical lines"
ggplot(imp, aes(x=value, group=.imp, colour=Imputed)) +
stat_density(geom = "path",position = "identity") +
facet_wrap(~variable, ncol=2, scales="free")
But as you can see the ranges of these plots are smaller than those from densityplot. This behaviour should be controlled by parameter trim of stat_density, but this seems not to work. After fixing the code of stat_density I got the following plot:
Still not exactly the same as the densityplot original, but much closer.
Edit: for a true fix we'll need to wait for the next major version of ggplot2, see github.

You can ask Hadley to add a fortify method for this mids class. E.g.
fortify.mids <- function(x){
imps <- do.call(rbind, lapply(seq_len(x$m), function(i){
data.frame(complete(x, i), Imputation = i, Imputed = "Imputed")
}))
orig <- cbind(x$data, Imputation = NA, Imputed = "Observed")
rbind(imps, orig)
}
ggplot 'fortifies' non-data.frame objects prior to plotting
ggplot(fortify.mids(impute), aes(x = bmi, colour = Imputed,
group = Imputation)) +
geom_density() +
scale_colour_manual(values = c(Imputed = "#000000", Observed = "#D55E00"))
note that each ends with a '+'. Otherwise the command is expected to be complete. This is why the legend did not change. And the line starting with a '+' resulted in the error.
You can melt the result of fortify.mids to plot all variables in one graph
library(reshape)
Molten <- melt(fortify.mids(impute), id.vars = c("Imputation", "Imputed"))
ggplot(Molten, aes(x = value, colour = Imputed, group = Imputation)) +
geom_density() +
scale_colour_manual(values = c(Imputed = "#000000", Observed = "#D55E00")) +
facet_wrap(~variable, scales = "free")

How does one control the appearance (e.g. line size, line type, colour) of mqgam plots produced using plot.mgamViz from the "mgcViz" package?

I am using quantile regression in R with the qgam package and visualising them using the mgcViz package, but I am struggling to understand how to control the appearance of the plots. The package effectively turns gams (in my case mqgams) into ggplots.
Simple reprex:
egfit <- mqgam(data = iris,
Sepal.Length ~ s(Petal.Length),
qu = c(0.25,0.5,0.75))
plot.mgamViz(getViz(egfit))
I am able to control things that can be added, for example the axis labels and theme of the plot, but I'm struggling to effect things that would normally be addressed in the aes() or geom_x() functions.
How would I control the thickness of the line? If this were a normal geom_smooth() or geom_line() I'd simply put size = 1 inside of the geoms, but I cannot see how I'd do so here.
How can I control the linetype of these lines? The "id" is continuous and one cannot supply a linetype to a continuous scale. If this were a nomral plot I would convert "id" to a character, but I can't see a way of doing so with the plot.mgamViz function.
How can I supply a new colour scale? It seems as though if I provide it with a new colour scale it invents new ID values to put on the legend that don't correlate to the actual "id" values, e.g.
plot.mgamViz(getViz(egfit)) + scale_colour_viridis_c()
I fully expect this to be relatively simple and I'm missing something obvious, and imagine the answer to all three of these subquestions are very similar to one another. Thanks in advance.
You need to extract your ggplot element using this:
p1 <- plot.mgamViz(getViz(egfit))
p <- p1$plots [[1]]$ggObj
Then, id should be as.factor:
p$data$id <- as.factor(p$data$id)
Now you can play with ggplot elements as you prefer:
library(mgcViz)
egfit <- mqgam(data = iris,
Sepal.Length ~ s(Petal.Length),
qu = c(0.25,0.5,0.75))
p1 <- plot.mgamViz(getViz(egfit))
# Taking gg infos and convert id to factor
p <- p1$plots [[1]]$ggObj
p$data$id <- as.factor(p$data$id)
# Changing ggplot attributes
p <- p +
geom_line(linetype = 3, size = 1)+
scale_color_brewer(palette = "Set1")+
labs(x="Petal Length", y="s(Petal Length)", color = "My ID labels:")+
theme_classic(14)+
theme(legend.position = "bottom")
p
Here the generated plot:
Hope it is useful!

How to add geom_point() to autolayer() line?

Trying to add geom_points to an autolayer() line ("fitted" in pic), which is a wrapper part of autoplot() for ggplot2 in Rob Hyndmans forecast package (there's a base autoplot/autolayer in ggplot2 too so same likely applies there).
Problem is (I'm no ggplot2 expert, and autoplot wrapper makes it trickier) the geom_point() applies fine to the main call, but how do I apply similar to the autolayer (fitted values)?
Tried type="b" like normal geom_line() but it's not an object param in autolayer().
require(fpp2)
model.ses <- ets(mdeaths, model="ANN", alpha=0.4)
model.ses.fc <- forecast(model.ses, h=5)
forecast::autoplot(mdeaths) +
forecast::autolayer(model.ses.fc$fitted, series="Fitted") + # cannot set to show points, and type="b" not allowed
geom_point() # this works fine against the main autoplot call
This seems to work:
library(forecast)
library(fpp2)
model.ses <- ets(mdeaths, model="ANN", alpha=0.4)
model.ses.fc <- forecast(model.ses, h=5)
# Pre-compute the fitted layer so we can extract the data out of it with
# layer_data()
fitted_layer <- forecast::autolayer(model.ses.fc$fitted, series="Fitted")
fitted_values <- fitted_layer$layer_data()
plt <- forecast::autoplot(mdeaths) +
fitted_layer +
geom_point() +
geom_point(data = fitted_values, aes(x = timeVal, y = seriesVal))
There might be a way to make forecast::autolayer do what you want directly but this solution works. If you want the legend to look right, you'll want to merge the input data and fitted values into a single data.frame.

Plotting two or more ecdfs in R using ggplot2

everyone. I`m reading two numeric vectors from files, and I want to plot two ecdfs on the one plot using ggplot2, but I seem to fail:
>exp = rnorm(100)
>cont = rnorm(100)
> ggplot() + stat_ecdf(data = exp) + stat_ecdf(data = cont)
Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class numeric
How do I plot them together without getting this kind of error?
library(ggplot2)
var1 = rnorm(100)
var2 = rnorm(100)
DF <- data.frame(variable=rep(c('var1', 'var2'), each=100), value=c(var1, var2))
ggplot(DF) + stat_ecdf(aes(value, color=variable))
You get an error because you are not using a data.frame, which should be a foundamental practice in ggplot2. Moreover, you are missing the aes which is mandatory when you are dealing with variables. Lastly, try to use stat_ecdf only once, and use color, shape, etc.. to distinguish among different variables.

Correlation matrix plot with ggplot2

I want to create a correlation matrix plot, i.e. a plot where each variable is plotted in a scatterplot against each other variable like with pairs() or splom(). I want to do this with ggplot2. See here for examples. The link mentions some code someone wrote for doing this in ggplot2, however, it is outdated and no longer works (even after you swap out the deprecated parts).
One could do this with a loop in a loop and then multiplot(), but there must be a better way. I tried melting the dataset to long, and copying the value and variable variables and then using facets. This almost gives you something correct.
d = data.frame(x1=rnorm(100),
x2=rnorm(100),
x3=rnorm(100),
x4=rnorm(100),
x5=rnorm(100))
library(reshape2)
d = melt(d)
d$value2 = d$value
d$variable2 = d$variable
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=d, aes(x=value, y=value2)) +
geom_point() +
facet_grid(variable ~ variable2)
This gets the general structure right, but only works for the plotting each variable against itself. Is there some more clever way of doing this without resorting to 2 loops?
library(GGally)
set.seed(42)
d = data.frame(x1=rnorm(100),
x2=rnorm(100),
x3=rnorm(100),
x4=rnorm(100),
x5=rnorm(100))
# estimated density in diagonal
ggpairs(d)
# blank
ggpairs(d, diag = list("continuous"="blank")

log-scaled density plot: ggplot2 and freqpoly, but with points instead of lines

What I really want to do is plot a histogram, with the y-axis on a log-scale. Obviously this i a problem with the ggplot2 geom_histogram, since the bottom os the bar is at zero, and the log of that gives you trouble.
My workaround is to use the freqpoly geom, and that more-or less does the job. The following code works just fine:
ggplot(zcoorddist) +
geom_freqpoly(aes(x=zcoord,y=..density..),binwidth = 0.001) +
scale_y_continuous(trans = 'log10')
The issue is that at the edges of my data, I get a couple of garish vertical lines that really thro you off visually when combining a bunch of these freqpoly curves in one plot. What I'd like to be able to do is use points at every vertex of the freqpoly curve, and no lines connecting them. Is there a way to to this easily?
The easiest way to get the desired plot is to just recast your data. Then you can use geom_point. Since you don't provide an example, I used the standard example for geom_histogram to show this:
# load packages
require(ggplot2)
require(reshape)
# get data
data(movies)
movies <- movies[, c("title", "rating")]
# here's the equivalent of your plot
ggplot(movies) + geom_freqpoly(aes(x=rating, y=..density..), binwidth=.001) +
scale_y_continuous(trans = 'log10')
# recast the data
df1 <- recast(movies, value~., measure.var="rating")
names(df1) <- c("rating", "number")
# alternative way to recast data
df2 <- as.data.frame(table(movies$rating))
names(df2) <- c("rating", "number")
df2$rating <- as.numeric(as.character(df$rating))
# plot
p <- ggplot(df1, aes(x=rating)) + scale_y_continuous(trans="log10", name="density")
# with lines
p + geom_linerange(aes(ymax=number, ymin=.9))
# only points
p + geom_point(aes(y=number))
