Description

Generates a descriptive graph for a quantitative variable.

Usage

univariate_plot(
  data,
  x,
  bins = 30,
  fill = "deepskyblue",
  pointcolor = "black",
  density = TRUE,
  densitycolor = "grey",
  alpha = 0.2,
  seed = 1234
)

Arguments

data

a data frame.

x

a variable name (without quotes).

bins

number of histogram bins.

fill

fill color for the histogram and boxplot.

pointcolor

point color for the jitter plot.

density

densitycolor

fill color for density curve.

alpha

Alpha transparency (0-1) for the density curve and jittered points.

seed

pseudorandom number seed for jittered plot.

Details

univariate_plot generates a plot containing three graphs: a histogram (with an optional density curve), a horizontal jittered point plot, and a horizontal box plot. The subtitle contains descriptive statistics, including the mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum, and skew.

Value

a ggplot2 graph

Note

The graphs are created with ggplot2 and then assembled into a single plot through the patchwork package. Missing values are deleted.

Examples

univariate_plot(mtcars, mpg)
univariate_plot(cardata, city_mpg, fill="lightsteelblue",
                pointcolor="lightsteelblue", densitycolor="lightpink",
                alpha=.6)
