R Documentation

Compute proportions according to custom denominator

Description

stat_prop() is a variation of ggplot2::stat_count() allowing to compute custom proportions according to the by aesthetic defining the denominator (i.e. all proportions for a same value of by will sum to 1). If the by aesthetic is not specified, denominators will be determined according to the default_by argument.

Usage

stat_prop(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  geom = "bar",
  position = "fill",
  ...,
  width = NULL,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  orientation = NA,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  complete = NULL,
  default_by = "total"
)

Arguments

`mapping`	Set of aesthetic mappings created by `aes()`. If specified and `inherit.aes = TRUE` (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply `mapping` if there is no plot mapping.
`data`	The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If `NULL`, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to `ggplot()`. A `data.frame`, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See `fortify()` for which variables will be created. A `function` will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a `data.frame`, and will be used as the layer data. A `function` can be created from a `formula` (e.g. `~ head(.x, 10)`).
`geom`	Override the default connection with `ggplot2::geom_bar()`.
`position`	A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and improving the display. The `position` argument accepts the following: The result of calling a position function, such as `position_jitter()`. This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position. A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a string, strip the function name of the `position_` prefix. For example, to use `position_jitter()`, give the position as `"jitter"`. For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the layer position documentation.
`...`	Other arguments passed on to `layer()`'s `params` argument. These arguments broadly fall into one of 4 categories below. Notably, further arguments to the `position` argument, or aesthetics that are required can not be passed through `...`. Unknown arguments that are not part of the 4 categories below are ignored. Static aesthetics that are not mapped to a scale, but are at a fixed value and apply to the layer as a whole. For example, `colour = "red"` or `linewidth = 3`. The geom's documentation has an Aesthetics section that lists the available options. The 'required' aesthetics cannot be passed on to the `params`. Please note that while passing unmapped aesthetics as vectors is technically possible, the order and required length is not guaranteed to be parallel to the input data. When constructing a layer using a `⁠stat_()⁠` function, the `...` argument can be used to pass on parameters to the `geom` part of the layer. An example of this is `stat_density(geom = "area", outline.type = "both")`. The geom's documentation lists which parameters it can accept. Inversely, when constructing a layer using a `⁠geom_()⁠` function, the `...` argument can be used to pass on parameters to the `stat` part of the layer. An example of this is `geom_area(stat = "density", adjust = 0.5)`. The stat's documentation lists which parameters it can accept. The `key_glyph` argument of `layer()` may also be passed on through `...`. This can be one of the functions described as key glyphs, to change the display of the layer in the legend.
`width`	Bar width. By default, set to 90% of the `resolution()` of the data.
`na.rm`	If `FALSE`, the default, missing values are removed with a warning. If `TRUE`, missing values are silently removed.
`orientation`	The orientation of the layer. The default (`NA`) automatically determines the orientation from the aesthetic mapping. In the rare event that this fails it can be given explicitly by setting `orientation` to either `"x"` or `"y"`. See the Orientation section for more detail.
`show.legend`	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? `NA`, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. `FALSE` never includes, and `TRUE` always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.
`inherit.aes`	If `FALSE`, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. `borders()`.
`complete`	Name (character) of an aesthetic for those statistics should be completed for unobserved values (see example).
`default_by`	If the by aesthetic is not available, name of another aesthetic that will be used to determine the denominators (e.g. `"fill"`), or `NULL` or `"total"` to compute proportions of the total. To be noted, `default_by = "x"` works both for vertical and horizontal bars.

Value

A ggplot2 plot with the added statistic.

Aesthetics

stat_prop() understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):

x or y
by
weight

Computed variables

after_stat(count): number of points in bin
after_stat(denominator): denominator for the proportions
after_stat(prop): computed proportion, i.e. after_stat(count)/after_stat(denominator)

Examples

library(ggplot2)
d <- as.data.frame(Titanic)

p <- ggplot(d) +
  aes(x = Class, fill = Survived, weight = Freq, by = Class) +
  geom_bar(position = "fill") +
  geom_text(stat = "prop", position = position_fill(.5))
p
p + facet_grid(~Sex)

ggplot(d) +
  aes(x = Class, fill = Survived, weight = Freq) +
  geom_bar(position = "dodge") +
  geom_text(
    aes(by = Survived),
    stat = "prop",
    position = position_dodge(0.9), vjust = "bottom"
  )

if (requireNamespace("scales")) {
  ggplot(d) +
    aes(x = Class, fill = Survived, weight = Freq, by = 1) +
    geom_bar() +
    geom_text(
      aes(label = scales::percent(after_stat(prop), accuracy = 1)),
      stat = "prop",
      position = position_stack(.5)
    )
}

# displaying unobserved levels with complete
d <- diamonds |>
  dplyr::filter(!(cut == "Ideal" & clarity == "I1")) |>
  dplyr::filter(!(cut == "Very Good" & clarity == "VS2")) |>
  dplyr::filter(!(cut == "Premium" & clarity == "IF"))
p <- ggplot(d) +
  aes(x = clarity, fill = cut, by = clarity) +
  geom_bar(position = "fill")
p + geom_text(stat = "prop", position = position_fill(.5))
p + geom_text(stat = "prop", position = position_fill(.5), complete = "fill")
