这是一种对两个密度图之间的区域进行着色并计算该区域大小的方法。
# Create some fake data
set.seed(10)
dat = data.frame(x=c(rnorm(1000, 0, 5), rnorm(2000, 0, 1)),
group=c(rep("Bad", 1000), rep("Good", 2000)))
# Plot densities
# Use y=..count.. to get counts on the vertical axis
p1 = ggplot(dat) +
geom_density(aes(x=x, y=..count.., colour=group), lwd=1)
一些额外的计算来遮蔽两个密度图之间的区域
(改编自this SO question):
pp1 = ggplot_build(p1)
# Create a new data frame with densities for the two groups ("Bad" and "Good")
dat2 = data.frame(x = pp1$data[[1]]$x[pp1$data[[1]]$group==1],
ymin=pp1$data[[1]]$y[pp1$data[[1]]$group==1],
ymax=pp1$data[[1]]$y[pp1$data[[1]]$group==2])
# We want ymax and ymin to differ only when the density of "Good"
# is greater than the density of "Bad"
dat2$ymax[dat2$ymax < dat2$ymin] = dat2$ymin[dat2$ymax < dat2$ymin]
# Shade the area between "Good" and "Bad"
p1a = p1 +
geom_ribbon(data=dat2, aes(x=x, ymin=ymin, ymax=ymax), fill='yellow', alpha=0.5)
这是两个图:
要获取Good 和Bad 特定范围内的面积(值的数量),请对每个组使用density 函数(或者您可以继续使用从ggplot 提取的数据,如上,但这样您可以更直接地控制密度分布的生成方式):
## Calculate densities for Bad and Good.
# Use same number of points and same x-range for each group, so that the density
# values will line up. Use a higher value for n to get a finer x-grid for the density
# values. Use a power of 2 for n, because the density function rounds up to the nearest
# power of 2 anyway.
bad = density(dat$x[dat$group=="Bad"],
n=1024, from=min(dat$x), to=max(dat$x))
good = density(dat$x[dat$group=="Good"],
n=1024, from=min(dat$x), to=max(dat$x))
## Normalize so that densities sum to number of rows in each group
# Number of rows in each group
counts = tapply(dat$x, dat$group, length)
bad$y = counts[1]/sum(bad$y) * bad$y
good$y = counts[2]/sum(good$y) * good$y
## Results
# Number of "Good" in region where "Good" exceeds "Bad"
sum(good$y[good$y > bad$y])
[1] 1931.495 # Out of 2000 total in the data frame
# Number of "Bad" in region where "Good" exceeds "Bad"
sum(bad$y[good$y > bad$y])
[1] 317.7315 # Out of 1000 total in the data frame
