Comparing changes in distributions with ggridges
Ridge plots, also known as joyplots, are a visualization tool that allows for the clear comparison of multiple distributions in a single plot. The ggridges R package provides an easy-to-use implementation of ridge plots, allowing for the clear comparison of multiple distributions of a single variable by superimposing them on top of each other in a single plot. The package also allows for easy customization of plot features such as color, fill, and theme. The ggridges package is particularly useful for comparing the distribution of a single variable across multiple groups or categories. In this recipe, we will look at implementing some useful ridge plots.
Getting ready
We will need the ggplot2, ggridges, and palmerpenguins packages.
How to do it…
We can look at the changes in distributions using the following steps:
- Plot overlapping distributions:
library(ggplot2)library(ggridges)library(palmerpenguins)ggplot...
