Below is my explanation for why it is really important to map
“Rating” to the vertical axis and “Budget” to the horizontal axis
- According to the general convention in scatter plots, the
independent variable is placed on the x-axis, and the
dependent variable is placed on the y-axis.
- Also as IMDb ratings are on a fixed
scale from 0 to 10, the budget
variable, with its wide range of possible values, can
accommodate an infinite number of observations on the
x-axis, allowing us to visualize a broad distribution
of budget values for any given rating.
library(ggplot2)
library(ggplot2movies)
ggplot(data = movies, mapping = aes(x = budget, y = rating)) + geom_point()
## Warning: Removed 53573 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
## (`geom_point()`).
