How to create faceted correlation plot using GGPLOT

Question

I have a data frame created the following way.

library(ggplot2)

x <- data.frame(letters[1:10],abs(rnorm(10)),abs(rnorm(10)),type=\"x\")
y <- data.frame(le         


        

Answer 1

Some of your code was incorrect. This works for me:

p <- ggplot(all, aes(val1, val2))+ geom_smooth(method = "lm")  + geom_point() +
  facet_grid(~type) 
# Calculate correlation for each group
cors <- ddply(all, .(type), summarise, cor = round(cor(val1, val2), 2))
p + geom_text(data=cors, aes(label=paste("r=", cor, sep="")), x=1, y=-0.25)

Edit: Following OP's comment and edit. The idea is to re-create the data with all four combinations and then facet.

# I consider the type in your previous data to be xx and yy
dat <- data.frame(val1 = c(rep(all$val1[all$type == "x"], 2), 
                           rep(all$val1[all$type == "y"], 2)), 
                  val2 = rep(all$val2, 2), 
                  grp1 = rep(c("x", "x", "y", "y"), each=10), 
                  grp2 = rep(c("x", "y", "x", "y"), each=10))

p <- ggplot(dat, aes(val1, val2)) + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method = "lm") + 
     facet_grid(grp1 ~ grp2)
cors <- ddply(dat, .(grp1, grp2), summarise, cor = round(cor(val1, val2), 2))
p + geom_text(data=cors, aes(label=paste("r=", cor, sep="")), x=1, y=-0.25)
