How to order facet variable in grouped boxplot by mean difference between groups in ggplot2

In this tutorial, we will learn how to order facet variable in a grouped boxplot by mean difference between groups in each facet plot with ggplot2. We will use Palmer penguin dataset to make a grouped boxplot using facet_wrap() in ggplot2. Our data looks like this. First, let us make a grouped boxplot using facet_wrap().… Continue reading How to order facet variable in grouped boxplot by mean difference between groups in ggplot2

Violinplot vs Boxplot: Why Violinplot Is Better Than Boxplot

Violinplot of Data from 3 Different Distributions

Violinplot or boxplot? What is better? Boxplots is great visualization to show a numerical variable. A boxplot shows “four main features about a variable: center, spread, asymmetry, and outliers”. With the five summary statistics one can easily draw boxplot even by hand. Violin plots are very similar to boxplot. In addition to the four main… Continue reading Violinplot vs Boxplot: Why Violinplot Is Better Than Boxplot

How To Reorder Boxplots in R with ggplot2

How To Reorder Boxplots in R? Descending Order with reorder()?

In this post, we will learn how to re-order boxplots in R with ggplot2. We will make a boxplot using ggplot2 with multiple groups. By default, ggplot2 orders the groups in alphabetical order. We will see multiple examples of reordering boxplots by another variable in the data using reorder() function in base R. We will… Continue reading How To Reorder Boxplots in R with ggplot2
