Continuous quantiles.

Usage

stat_quantile(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, geom = "quantile", position = "identity", 
  quantiles = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.75), formula = NULL, method = "rq", na.rm = FALSE, 
      ...)

Arguments

quantiles

conditional quantiles of y to calculate and display

formula

formula relating y variables to x variables

method

Quantile regression method to use. Currently only supports rq.

na.rm

If FALSE (the default), removes missing values with a warning. If TRUE silently removes missing values.

mapping

The aesthetic mapping, usually constructed with aes or aes_string. Only needs to be set at the layer level if you are overriding the plot defaults.

data

A layer specific dataset - only needed if you want to override the plot defaults.

geom

The geometric object to use display the data

position

The position adjustment to use for overlappling points on this layer

...

other arguments passed on to layer. This can include aesthetics whose values you want to set, not map. See layer for more details.

Examples

msamp <- movies[sample(nrow(movies), 1000), ]
m <- ggplot(msamp, aes(year, rating)) + geom_point()
m + stat_quantile()

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x

m + stat_quantile(quantiles = 0.5)

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x

q10 <- seq(0.05, 0.95, by=0.05)
m + stat_quantile(quantiles = q10)

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x


# You can also use rqss to fit smooth quantiles
m + stat_quantile(method = "rqss")


# Note that rqss doesn't pick a smoothing constant automatically, so
# you'll need to tweak lambda yourself
m + stat_quantile(method = "rqss", lambda = 10)


m + stat_quantile(method = "rqss", lambda = 100)



# Use 'votes' as weights for the quantile calculation
m + stat_quantile(aes(weight=votes))

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x


# Change scale
m + stat_quantile(aes(colour = ..quantile..), quantiles = q10)

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x

m + stat_quantile(aes(colour = ..quantile..), quantiles = q10) +
  scale_colour_gradient2(midpoint = 0.5)

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x


# Set aesthetics to fixed value
m + stat_quantile(colour = "red", size = 2, linetype = 2)

Smoothing formula not specified. Using: y ~ x


# Use qplot instead
qplot(year, rating, data=movies, geom="quantile")
