How to Store the Output of Stat_smooth or Geom_smooth in R

If you are developing a shiny app and generating various scatter plots using datasets, you may have come across the need to store the output of stat_smooth or geom_smooth. These functions allow you to add smoothed lines to your plots, providing a clearer picture of the trends in your data. However, in addition to visualizing these trends, you might want to store the generated smooth profiles as datasets for further analysis or visualization. In this guide, we’ll guide you through the steps to achieve that.

The Challenge

In the context of your shiny app, you might be generating scatter plots and applying smooth lines to them. But if you wish to compile multiple stat_smooth profiles in one graph, you’ll need a way to extract and store these smooth profiles. The key question is: How can you save the output of stat_smooth as a dataset?

The Solution: Using ggplot_build

The good news is that you can easily extract the data from stat_smooth using the ggplot_build function from the ggplot2 package. Below are the detailed steps to do so.

Step-by-Step Guide

Load the ggplot2 Library: Make sure to have the ggplot2 library loaded in your R environment. If it's not installed, you can do so using install.packages("ggplot2").

Create a Basic Scatter Plot with stat_smooth: Create a scatter plot using ggplot, adding your data and the stat_smooth function to generate the smoothed line.

Use ggplot_build Function: To extract the smooth profile data, you will use the ggplot_build function.

Access the Smoothed Data: The output of ggplot_build contains a list of data frames, where the smoothed data can be specifically accessed. In this case, the smooth data is found in data[[2]].

Understanding the Output

When you run the above code, it returns a data frame that contains several columns:

x: The x values at which the smooth is evaluated.

y: The corresponding smoothed y values.

ymin: The lower bound of the confidence interval.

ymax: The upper bound of the confidence interval.

se: The standard error of the smooth.

PANEL, group, colour, fill, etc.: Additional aesthetics used in the plot.

Here’s an example of what the output might look like:

Conclusion

Storing the output of stat_smooth or geom_smooth in your R shiny applications can greatly enhance your data analysis capabilities. By following the steps outlined above, you can extract the smoothed data and prepare it for further use, whether it's for compiling multiple profiles or conducting in-depth analysis. Start implementing this in your shiny apps today and unlock the full potential of your data visualizations!
