Quickly create a raincloud plot

Create a raincloud plot to provide maximal statistical information while preserving the desired ‘inference at a glance’ nature of barplots and other similar visualisation devices.

Usage

dr_plot_raincloud(
  data,
  grouping_variable,
  continuous_variable,
  smoothness = 0.3
)

Arguments

data

A data frame that includes the grouping and continuous variable.

grouping_variable

The variable we want to map colours to.

continuous_variable

The continious variable we want to be displaying the distribution of.

smoothness

A measure, which must be > 0, representing the smoothness of the density plot (i.e. how closely you want the density to match the distribution). Default is 0.3, but too high values can oversmooth the data, and too low values can cause undersmoothing. Generally it is recommended to stick with values between 0.3-1.

Value

A ggplot2 object

Examples

## Smoothness default value of 0.3
iris %>%
  dr_plot_raincloud(grouping_variable = Species,
                    continuous_variable = Sepal.Length,
                    smoothness = 0.3)


## Smoothness changed to 0.8
iris %>%
  dr_plot_raincloud(grouping_variable = Species,
                    continuous_variable = Sepal.Length,
                    smoothness = 0.8)
