geom_bar(): plotting the frequency of a subgroup out of total observations

Question

I'm relatively new to R and would like to ask: I have a data frame (my.data) with 2 columns: "PHENO" which is a factor with two levels (1 or 2) and "bins" which is numeric (natural number between 1 to 10). I'm trying to plot the frequency (as percents) of PHENO==2 vs the bins, where the 100% is total number observations (levels 1+2).

This is what I did, but the 100% is not all of the observations:

ggplot(data = subset(my.data, PHENO == 2)) + 
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = as.factor(bins), y = ..prop.., group = 1), stat = "count") +
  scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent_format(), limits = c(0,0.15)) +
  geom_hline(yintercept = 0.05, linetype="dashed", color = 'blue', size = 1) + 
  annotate(geom = "text", label = 'Prevalence 5%', x = 1.5, y = 0.05, vjust = -1, col = 'blue') +

Also, I tried to add frequency labels over the bars but it didn't work:

geom_text(aes(label = as.factor(bins)), position=position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust = -0.25)

I would appreciate your help.

Can you please provide a reproducible example? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example For example with dput — johnjohn, Aug 09 '20 at 17:58

Is this what you need?

df %>% 
  group_by(PHENO, bins) %>% 
  count(PHENO) %>% 
  ungroup() %>% 
  mutate(Percent=n/sum(n)*100) %>% 
  filter(PHENO=="2") %>% #select PHENO 2 here in order to keep 100% of all observations
  ggplot(aes(y=Percent, x=bins))+
  geom_col()+
  geom_hline(yintercept = 5, linetype="dashed", color = 'blue', size = 1)+
  geom_text(aes(label = as.factor(bins)), position=position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust = -0.25)

I used this mock data, which might not correspond to yours of course, for illustration purposes:

df <- structure(list(PHENO = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 
2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L), .Label = c("1", 
"2"), class = "factor"), bins = c(1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 5, 2, 
3, 6, 9, 10, 5, 6, 6, 6, 4)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-18L))

Result:
