Multiple Relative frequency histogram in R, ggplot

Question

I'm trying to plot multiple histograms of relative frequencies in R. ggplot

Answer 1

Below are some basic example with the build-in iris dataset. The relative part is obtained by multiplying the density with the binwidth.

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, fill = Species)) +
  geom_histogram(aes(y = after_stat(density * width)),
                 position = "identity", alpha = 0.5)
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length)) +
  geom_histogram(aes(y = after_stat(density * width))) +
  facet_wrap(~ Species)
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
