PROGRAM-05

Implement an r program to create a histogram illustrating the distribution of continuous variable with overlay of density curves of each group ,using ggplot2.

Step1:load the required library

library(ggplot2)

Step 2: explore the inbuilt dataset

str(iris)

'data.frame':   150 obs. of  5 variables:
 $ Sepal.Length: num  5.1 4.9 4.7 4.6 5 5.4 4.6 5 4.4 4.9 ...
 $ Sepal.Width : num  3.5 3 3.2 3.1 3.6 3.9 3.4 3.4 2.9 3.1 ...
 $ Petal.Length: num  1.4 1.4 1.3 1.5 1.4 1.7 1.4 1.5 1.4 1.5 ...
 $ Petal.Width : num  0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 ...
 $ Species     : Factor w/ 3 levels "setosa","versicolor",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

head(iris)

  Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

Step3:create a histogram with group-wise density curves

Step3.1: intialise the ggplot with aesthetic mappings

p <- ggplot(data = iris,aes(x=Petal.Length,fill=Species))
p

step 3.2:add histogram layer

p <- p + geom_histogram(aes(y = ..density..),
    alpha = 0.4,
    position = "identity",
    bins = 30)
p

Warning: The dot-dot notation (`..density..`) was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
ℹ Please use `after_stat(density)` instead.

Step 3.3:add density layer

p <- p +
  geom_density(aes(colour = Species),
               size=1.2)

Warning: Using `size` aesthetic for lines was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
ℹ Please use `linewidth` instead.

p

Step 3.4:Add labels and themes

p<-p+ 
  labs(title="Distribution of Petal Length with Group-wise Density curves",
       x="Petal Length",
       y="Density")+
  theme_minimal()
p
