ggplot(data = diamonds) +
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = cut))

ggplot(data = diamonds) +
  geom_histogram(mapping = aes(x = carat), binwidth = 0.5)

smaller <- diamonds %>% 
  filter(carat < 3)
  
ggplot(data = smaller, mapping = aes(x = carat)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.1)

ggplot(data = smaller, mapping = aes(x = carat, colour = cut)) +
  geom_freqpoly(binwidth = 0.1)

Typicaal Values

ggplot(data = smaller, mapping = aes(x = carat)) +
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.01)

ggplot(data = faithful, mapping = aes(x = eruptions)) + 
  geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.25)

Unusual values

ggplot(diamonds) + 
  geom_histogram(mapping = aes(x = y), binwidth = 0.5)

ggplot(diamonds) + 
  geom_histogram(mapping = aes(x = y), binwidth = 0.5) +
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0, 50))

Missing Values

diamonds2 <- diamonds %>% 
  filter(between(y, 3, 20))

ggplot(data = diamonds2, mapping = aes(x = x, y = y)) + 
  geom_point()

Covariation

A categorical and continuous variable

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = cut, y = price)) +
  geom_boxplot()

Two categorical variables

diamonds %>% 
  count(color, cut) %>%  
  ggplot(mapping = aes(x = color, y = cut)) +
    geom_tile(mapping = aes(fill = n))

Two continuous variables

library(hexbin)
ggplot(data = diamonds) +
  geom_bin2d(mapping = aes(x = carat, y = price))

# install.packages("hexbin")
ggplot(data = smaller) +
  geom_hex(mapping = aes(x = carat, y = price))

ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = carat, y = price)) + 
  geom_boxplot(mapping = aes(group = cut_width(carat, 0.1)))

Patterns and models

library(modelr)

mod <- lm(log(price) ~ log(carat), data = diamonds)

diamonds2 <- diamonds %>% 
  add_residuals(mod) %>% 
  mutate(resid = exp(resid))

ggplot(data = diamonds2) + 
  geom_point(mapping = aes(x = carat, y = resid))

ggplot(data = diamonds2) + 
  geom_boxplot(mapping = aes(x = cut, y = resid))
