Some example data science plots in R using ggplot2
. See https://github.com/WinVector/WVPlots for code/details.

Scatterplot with smoothing line through points.
WVPlots::ScatterHist(frm, "x", "y", title="Example Fit")
Scatterplot with best linear fit through points. Also report the R-squared and significance of the linear fit.
WVPlots::ScatterHist(frm, "x", "y", smoothmethod="lm", title="Example Linear Fit", estimate_sig = TRUE)
Scatterplot compared to the line x = y
. Also report the coefficient of determination between x
and y
(where y
is
"true outcome" and x
is "predicted outcome").
WVPlots::ScatterHist(frm, "x", "y", smoothmethod="identity", title="Example Relation Plot", estimate_sig = TRUE)
Scatterplot of (x, y) color-coded by category/group, with marginal distributions of x and y conditioned on group.
set.seed(34903490) fmScatterHistC = data.frame( x=rnorm(50), y=rnorm(50), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) fmScatterHistC$cat <- fmScatterHistC$x+fmScatterHistC$y>0 WVPlots::ScatterHistC(fmScatterHistC, "x", "y", "cat", title="Example Conditional Distribution")
Scatterplot of (x, y) color-coded by discretized z. The continuous variable z is binned into three groups, and then plotted as by ScatterHistC
set.seed(34903490) frmScatterHistN = data.frame( x=rnorm(50), y=rnorm(50), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) frmScatterHistN$z <- frmScatterHistN$x+frmScatterHistN$y WVPlots::ScatterHistN(frmScatterHistN, "x", "y", "z", title="Example Joint Distribution")
Plot the relationship y as a function of x with a smoothing curve that estimates $E[y | x]$. If y is a 0/1 variable as below (binary classification, where 1 is the target class), then the smoothing curve estimates $P(y | x)$. Since $y \in {0,1}$ with $y$ intended to be monotone in $x$ is the most common use of this graph, BinaryYScatterPlot
uses a glm
smoother by default (use_glm=TRUE
, this is essentially Platt scaling), as the best estimate of $P(y | x)$.
WVPlots::BinaryYScatterPlot(frm, "x", "posY", use_glm=FALSE, title="Example 'Probability of Y' Plot (ggplot2 smoothing)") WVPlots::BinaryYScatterPlot(frm, "x", "posY", use_glm=TRUE, title="Example 'Probability of Y' Plot (GLM smoothing)")
if(requireNamespace("hexbin", quietly = TRUE)) { set.seed(5353636) df = rbind(data.frame(x=rnorm(1000, mean = 1), y=rnorm(1000, mean = 1, sd = 0.5 ), stringsAsFactors = FALSE), data.frame(x = rnorm(1000, mean = -1, sd = 0.5), y = rnorm(1000, mean = -1, sd = 0.5), stringsAsFactors = FALSE), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) print(WVPlots::HexBinPlot(df, "x", "y", "Two gaussians")) }
set.seed(34903490) y = abs(rnorm(20)) + 0.1 x = abs(y + 0.5*rnorm(20)) frm = data.frame( model=x, value=y, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) frm$costs=1 frm$costs[1]=5 frm$rate = with(frm, value/costs) frm$isValuable = (frm$value >= as.numeric(quantile(frm$value, probs=0.8)))
Basic curve: each item "costs" the same. The wizard sorts by true value, the x axis sorts by the model, and plots the fraction of the total population.
WVPlots::GainCurvePlot(frm, "model", "value", title="Example Continuous Gain Curve")
We can annotate a point of the model at a specific x value
gainx = 0.10 # get the top 10% most valuable points as sorted by the model # make a function to calculate the label for the annotated point labelfun = function(gx, gy) { pctx = gx*100 pcty = gy*100 paste("The top ", pctx, "% most valuable points by the model\n", "are ", pcty, "% of total actual value", sep='') } WVPlots::GainCurvePlotWithNotation(frm, "model", "value", title="Example Gain Curve with annotation", gainx=gainx,labelfun=labelfun)
When the x
values have different costs, take that into account in the gain curve.
The wizard now sorts by value/cost, and the x axis is sorted by the model, but plots the fraction of total cost, rather than total count.
WVPlots::GainCurvePlotC(frm, "model", "costs", "value", title="Example Continuous Gain CurveC")
set.seed(34903490) # data with two different regimes of behavior frm <- rbind( data.frame( model = rnorm(1000), isValuable = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), prob = c(0.02, 0.98), size = 1000, replace = TRUE)), data.frame( model = rnorm(200) + 5, isValuable = sample(c(TRUE, FALSE), size = 200, replace = TRUE)) ) WVPlots::ROCPlot(frm, "model", "isValuable", TRUE, title="Example ROC plot")
Plotting the ROC of two models on the same data, where predictions and true outcome all in the same data frame.
set.seed(34903490) x1 = rnorm(50) x2 = rnorm(length(x1)) y = 0.2*x2^2 + 0.5*x2 + x1 + rnorm(length(x1)) frmP = data.frame( x1=x1, x2=x2, yC = y>=as.numeric(quantile(y,probs=0.8)), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) # WVPlots::ROCPlot(frmP, "x1", "yC", TRUE, title="Example ROC plot") # WVPlots::ROCPlot(frmP, "x2", "yC", TRUE, title="Example ROC plot") WVPlots::ROCPlotPair(frmP, "x1", "x2", "yC", TRUE, title="Example ROC pair plot")
Plotting the results from two data sets, for example the results of a model on training and test sets, where predictions/outcome for the two data sets are in different data frames.
set.seed(2342458) make_data <- function(nrows) { d <- data.frame(x = rnorm(nrows)) d['y'] = sin(d['x']) + 0.25*rnorm(n = nrows) d['x2'] = rnorm(n = nrows) d['yc'] = d[['y']]>0.5 return(d) } training <- make_data(500) test <- make_data(200) model <- glm(yc ~ x + x2, data=training, family=binomial) training$pred <- predict(model, newdata=training, type="response") test$pred <- predict(model, newdata=test, type="response") WVPlots::ROCPlotPair2(nm1 = "Training", # model 1 frame1 = training, xvar1 = "pred", truthVar1 = "yc", truthTarget1 = TRUE, nm2 ="Test", # model 2 frame2 = test, xvar2 = "pred", truthVar2 = "yc", truthTarget2 = TRUE, title = "Model performance, training vs test", estimate_sig = FALSE)
Many ROC
plots on the same graph.
set.seed(34903490) x1 = rnorm(50) x2 = rnorm(length(x1)) x3 = rnorm(length(x1)) y = 0.2*x2^2 + 0.5*x2 + x1 + rnorm(length(x1)) frm_m = data.frame( x1 = x1, x2 = x2, x3 = x3, yC = y >= as.numeric(quantile(y,probs=0.8))) WVPlots::ROCPlotPairList( frame = frm_m, xvar_names = c("x1", "x2", "x3"), truthVar = "yC", truthTarget = TRUE, title = "Example ROC list plot")
Plots precision and recall as functions of different classifier thresholds.
WVPlots::PRTPlot(frm, "model", "isValuable", TRUE, title="Example Precision-Recall plot")
ThresholdPlot()
plots a variety of functions of different classifier thresholds.
# replicate PRTPlot. Looks a little different because ThresholdPlot does different smoothing WVPlots::ThresholdPlot(frm, "model", "isValuable", title="Reproduce PRTPlot", truth_target=TRUE, # default metrics = c("precision", "recall")) # default: sensitivity/specificity WVPlots::ThresholdPlot(frm, "model", "isValuable", title="Sensitivity and Specificity as a Function of Threshold")
One useful application of ThresholdPlot
is to "unroll" an ROC plot: if the ROC shows that your model can meet an acceptable trade-off of true positive rate and false positive rate, then ThresholdPlot
can tell you which threshold achieves that goal.
WVPlots::ThresholdPlot(frm, "model", "isValuable", title="ROC 'unrolled'", metrics = c("true_positive_rate", "false_positive_rate"))
An extended example can be found here.

ClevelandDotPlot
also accepts an integral x variable. You probably want sort = 0
in this case.
set.seed(34903490) N = 1000 ncar_vec = 0:5 prob = c(1.5, 3, 3.5, 2, 1, 0.75); prob = prob/sum(prob) df = data.frame( num_cars = sample(ncar_vec, size = N, replace = TRUE, prob=prob), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) WVPlots::ClevelandDotPlot(df, "num_cars", sort = 0, title = "Distribution of household vehicle ownership")
Plot a bar chart of row counts conditioned on the categorical variable condvar
,
faceted on a second categorical variable, refinevar
. Each faceted plot
also shows a "shadow plot" of the totals conditioned on condvar
alone.
This plot enables comparisons of sub-population totals across both
condvar
and refinevar
simultaneously.
set.seed(354534) N = 100 # rough proportions of eye colors eprobs = c(0.37, 0.36, 0.16, 0.11) eye_color = sample(c("Brown", "Blue", "Hazel", "Green"), size = N, replace = TRUE, prob = eprobs) sex = sample(c("Male", "Female"), size = N, replace = TRUE) # A data frame of eye color by sex dframe = data.frame( eye_color = eye_color, sex = sex, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) WVPlots::ShadowPlot(dframe, "eye_color", "sex", title = "Shadow plot of eye colors by sex")
Plot a histogram of a continuous variable xvar
,
faceted on a categorical conditioning variable, condvar
. Each faceted plot
also shows a "shadow plot" of the unconditioned histogram for comparison.
set.seed(354534) N = 100 dframe = data.frame( x = rnorm(N), gp = "region 2", stringsAsFactors = FALSE) dframe$gp = with(dframe, ifelse(x < -0.5, "region 1", ifelse(x > 0.5, "region 3", gp))) WVPlots::ShadowHist(dframe, "x", "gp", title = "X values by region")
ShadowHist
uses the Brewer Dark2 palette by default. You can pass in another Brewer palette to change the color scheme.
If you prefer all the histograms to be the same color, set monochrome=TRUE
.
WVPlots::ShadowHist(dframe, "x", "gp", title = "X values by region", monochrome=TRUE)
To use a non-Brewer palette, such as viridis, or a manual color map, set palette=NULL
. Here's an example of setting the color palette manually.
colormap = c("#1F968BFF", "#29AF7FFF", "#55C667FF") WVPlots::ShadowHist(dframe, "x", "gp", title = "X values by region", palette=NULL) + ggplot2::scale_fill_manual(values=colormap)
