前言
所谓一图胜千言: ""Information-rich graphic is worth a thousand words""
ggstatsplot的理念非常简单:把数据的可视化与统计分析一块做了
简单易用: ggplot2很强大, 但是,但是,太多的参数,细节。。,统计知识比较差的你表示:(
--ggstatsplot 就是你的救星了。。。
1. 软件安装
Install the ggstatsplot package from CRAN:
utils::install.packages("ggstatsplot")
Then you can get the development version of the package from Github:
library(remotes)remotes::install_github("IndrajeetPatil/ggstatsplot", dependencies = FALSE)
Load the needed packages-
library(ggstatsplot)library(ggplot2)
You are recommended to use the RStudioIDE, but you don't have to.
2. 使用

2.11 Utility beyond ggstatsplot
What if I don't like the default plots but still want to display statistical results?
2.11.1 Using as helper functions
ggstatsplot
can also be used just to get the statistical details.
# using `ggstatsplot` for stats
results <-
ggstatsplot::ggpiestats(
data = Titanic_full,
x = Survived,
y = Sex,
return = "subtitle",
messages = FALSE
)
# using `ggiraphExtra` for plot
ggiraphExtra::ggSpine(
data = Titanic_full,
aes(x = Sex, fill = Survived),
addlabel = TRUE,
interactive = FALSE
) + labs(subtitle = results)
All included analyses have their corresponding helper functions for preparing subtitles with statistical details.
2.12 Glossary
Statistical reporting in ggstatsplot
2.12.1. Best practices in reporting statistical details
- As discussed before, the details included in statistical analyses follow the APA gold standard.
- The default tests follow the best practices. For example,
ggbetweenstats
function by default runs Welch's t-test and Welch's ANOVA - and not Student's t-test and Fisher's ANOVA - based on recent work (Delacre et al., 2017, 2018).- No p-value error
(Lilienfeld et al., 2015)
2.12.2 Avoiding errors
Since the plot and the statistical analysis are yoked together, the chances of making an error in reporting the results are minimized. You never have to write the results manually or copy-paste them from someplace else.
2.12.3 Making sense of null results
Combination of frequentist and Bayesian statistics for each analysis to properly interpret the null results.
2.12.4. Toggling between type of statistics
3. Types of statistical analyses supported
4. Effect sizes + CI available?
5. Benefits of using ggstatsplot
Truly makes your figures worth a thousand words.
No need to copy-paste results to the text editor (MS-Word, e.g.).
Disembodied figures stand on their own and are easy to evaluate for the reader.
More breathing room for theoretical discussion and other text.
No need to worry about updating figures and statistical details separately if something about the data changes.
Minimal amount of code needed for all functions (typically only data, x, and y). This minimizes chances of error.
6. Limitations
Limited kinds of plots available.
Limited number of statistical tests (and effect sizes) available.
Faceting (or small multiples) not implemented.
Default plots can be too complicated for effectively communicating results in time-constrained presentation settings (e.g., conference talks).
Bulky API (in terms of number of function arguments to keep in mind).
(Saving grace: Defaults are sufficient most of the time.)
