This vignette offers a few basic examples to help users get started with plotmm
.
The package has five functions:
plot_mm()
: The main function of the package, plot_mm
allows the user to simply input the name of the fit mixture model, as well as an optional argument to pass the number of components k
that were used in the original fit. Note: the function will automatically detect the number of components if k
is not supplied. The result is a tidy ggplot of the density of the data with overlaid mixture weight component curves. Importantly, as the grammar of graphics is the basis of visualization in this package, all other tidyverse-friendly customization options work with any of the plotmm
's functions (e.g., customizing with ggplot2
's functions like labs()
or theme_*()
; or patchwork
's plot_annotation()
). There are examples of these and others below.
plot_cut_point()
: Mixture models are often used to derive cut points of separation between groups in feature space. plot_cut_point()
plots the data density with the overlaid cut point (the mean of the calculated mu
) from the fit mixture model.
plot_mix_comps()
: A helper function allowing for expanded customization of mixture model plots. The function superimposes the shape of the components over a ggplot2
object. This function is also used to render all plots in the main plot_mm()
function.
plot_gmm()
: The original function upon which the package was expanded. It is included in plotmm
for quicker access to a common mixture model form (univariate Gaussian), as well as to bridge between the original plotGMM
package.
plot_mix_comps_normal()
: Similarly, this function is the original basis of plot_mix_comps()
, but for Gaussian mixture models only. It is included in plotmm
for bridging between the original plotGMM
package.
The package supports several model objects (from 'mixtools', 'EMCluster', and 'flexmix'), as well as many mixture model specifications, including mixtures of:
First, load the stable version from CRAN.
library(plotmm)
plot_mm()
First, here is an example for univariate normal mixture model:
library(mixtools) library(ggplot2) set.seed(576) mixmdl <- normalmixEM(iris$Petal.Length, k = 2) # visualize plot_mm(mixmdl, 2) + labs(title = "Univariate Gaussian Mixture Model", subtitle = "Mixtools Object")
Next is an example of a mixture of linear regressions:
library(mixtools) library(ggplot2) # set up the data (replication of mixtools examples for comparability) data(NOdata) attach(NOdata) set.seed(100) out <- regmixEM(Equivalence, NO, verb = TRUE, epsilon = 1e-04) df <- data.frame(out$beta) # visualize plot_mm(out) + labs(title = "Mixture of Regressions", subtitle = "Mixtools Object")
Next is a bivariate Gaussian mixture model (via EMCluster
). Note: in this case, all plots print by default for full display of options. Use indexing (e.g., plot[1]
) to plot a specific or preferred quantity.
library(EMCluster) library(patchwork) set.seed(1234) x <- da1$da out <- init.EM(x, nclass = 10, method = "em.EM") plot_mm(out, data = x) + plot_annotation(title = "Bivariate Gaussian Mixture Model", subtitle = "EMCluster Object")
plot_cut_point()
(with the amerika color palette)library(mixtools) mixmdl <- normalmixEM(faithful$waiting, k = 2) plot_cut_point(mixmdl, plot = TRUE, color = "amerika") # produces plot plot_cut_point(mixmdl, plot = FALSE) # gives the cut point value, not the plot
plot_mix_comps()
library(mixtools) library(magrittr) library(ggplot2) # Fit a univariate mixture model via mixtools set.seed(576) mixmdl <- normalmixEM(faithful$waiting, k = 2) # Customize a plot with `plot_mix_comps_normal()` data.frame(x = mixmdl$x) %>% ggplot() + geom_histogram(aes(x, ..density..), binwidth = 1, colour = "black", fill = "white") + stat_function(geom = "line", fun = plot_mix_comps_normal, # here is the function args = list(mixmdl$mu[1], mixmdl$sigma[1], lam = mixmdl$lambda[1]), colour = "red", lwd = 1.5) + stat_function(geom = "line", fun = plot_mix_comps_normal, # here again as k = 2 args = list(mixmdl$mu[2], mixmdl$sigma[2], lam = mixmdl$lambda[2]), colour = "blue", lwd = 1.5) + ylab("Density")
