How to create a grouped plot of jittered data with the ggplot2 R package (CC108)
A grouped plot with jittered data can be an effective way to represent the variation across a continuous variable for multiple levels of two categorical variables. These plots can be made in R using the geom_jitter and position_jitterdodge functions from the ggplot2 R package. You can indicate the median of the distributions using ggplot2's stat_summary function. Watch this episode where Pat will demonstrate how to create these effective visualizations.
Pat will use RStudio and the #geom_jitter, #position_jitterdodge, #stat_summary, and #position_dodge functions from the #ggplot2, package. The accompanying blog post can be found at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/....
