diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(x = cut)) +
geom_bar()

diamonds %>%
ggplot(mapping = aes(x = carat)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.5)

diamonds %>%

diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(x = carat, color = cut)) +
geom_freqpoly()
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value `binwidth`.

Typical Values
diamonds %>%
# Filter out diamonds < 3 carat
filter(carat < 3) %>%
# Plot
ggplot(aes(x = carat)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.01)

faithful %>%
ggplot(aes(eruptions)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth = 0.25)

Unusual Values
diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(y)) +
geom_histogram()
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value `binwidth`.

diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(y)) +
geom_histogram() +
coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0, 50))
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value `binwidth`.

Missing Values
diamonds %>%
# filter(y < 3 | y > 20) %>%
mutate(y = ifelse(y < 3 | y > 20, NA, y)) %>%
#plot
ggplot(aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point()
## Warning: Removed 9 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
## (`geom_point()`).

nycflights13::flights %>%
mutate(

sched_min = sched_dep_time %% 100,
sched_dep_time = sched_hour + sched_min / 60

Covariation
A Categorical and Continuous variable
diamonds %>%
ggplot(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
diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(data = diamonds)) +
geom_point(mapping = aes(x = carat, y = price), alpha = 1 / 100)
## Don't know how to automatically pick scale for object of type
## <tbl_df/tbl/data.frame>. Defaulting to continuous.

library(hexbin)
diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(x = carat, y = price)) +
geom_hex()

diamonds %>%
filter(carat < 3) %>%
ggplot(aes(x = carat, y = price)) +
geom_boxplot(aes(group = cut_width(carat, 0.1)))
## Warning: Orientation is not uniquely specified when both the x and y aesthetics are
## continuous. Picking default orientation 'x'.

diamonds %>%
ggplot(aes(x = carat, y = price)) +
geom_boxplot(aes(group = cut_number(carat, 20)))
## Warning: Orientation is not uniquely specified when both the x and y aesthetics are
## continuous. Picking default orientation 'x'.

Patterns and models
faithful %>%
ggplot(aes(data = faithful)) +
geom_point(aes(x = eruptions, y = waiting))
## Don't know how to automatically pick scale for object of type <data.frame>.
## Defaulting to continuous.

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))
