让我们考虑这些数据:
df = data.frame('score'=round(runif(15, 1, 10)),
'group'=paste0("a",rep(c(1,2,3),each=5)),
'category'=rep(c("big", "big", "big", "big", "small"), 3))
我想用ggplot2
绘制这些数据的箱线图。我想要的是:boxplot(得分〜组),但是根据" big"的平均值排列的箱形图。每个人的个人。
我无法在不创建新变量的情况下以简单的方式解决问题。好的,可以使用Dplyr。感谢。
答案 0 :(得分:2)
我不知道这是否有资格作为一种简单的方式,我个人认为这很简单,但我使用dplyr
来找到方法:
#find the means for each group
library(dplyr)
means <-
df %>%
#filter out small since you only need category equal to 'big'
filter(category=='big') %>%
#use the same groups as in the ggplot
group_by(group) %>%
#calculate the means
summarise(mean = mean(score))
#order the groups according to the order of the means
myorder <- means$group[order(means$mean)]
在这种情况下,订单是:
> myorder
[1] a1 a2 a3
为了按照上面的说明安排箱图的顺序,你只需要这样做:
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df, aes(group, score)) +
geom_boxplot() +
#you just need to use scale_x_discrete with the limits argument
#to pass in details of the order of appearance for the boxplots
#in this case the order is the myorders vector
scale_x_discrete(limits=myorder)
就是这样。
