library(ggplot2)program 11
11 . To gnenerate a basic box plot using ggplot2. enhanced with notches and outliers and grouped by a categorical variable using an in_built dataset in R.
Step 1: Load the required library
Step 2: Explore the data set
data("iris")
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
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 ...
Step 3: Creating a box plot
ggplot(data = iris, aes(y = Sepal.Length ,x = Species))+
geom_boxplot(
outlier.alpha = NULL,
notch = TRUE,
staplewidth = 0.5,
na.rm = FALSE,
fill = "yellow",
color = "black",
outlier.color = "skyblue",
outlier.fill = "red",
orientation = NA,
show.legend = NA,
inherit.aes = TRUE
)+
labs(
title = "Boxplot with notches and outliers",
x = "Species",
y = "Sepal.Legth"
)+
