Creating barplot with standard errors plotted in R

0 votes

I'm trying to create barplots in R with standard errors displayed. I have two data frames in my case.

Plot df1 so that the x-axis has sites a-c, with the y-axis displaying the mean value for V1 and the standard errors highlighted

Plot df2 in the same way, but so that before and after are located next to each other.

x <- factor(LETTERS[1:3])
site <- rep(x, each = 8)
values <- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(0:10, 3*8, replace=TRUE), ncol=1))
df1 <- cbind(site,values)
z <- factor(c("Before","After"))
when <- rep(z, each = 4)
df2 <- data.frame(when,df1)

For df1 plot

# Group data by when and site
grouped_df1<-group_by(df1,site)

#summarise grouped data and calculate mean and standard error using function mean and std.error(from plotrix)
summarised_df1<-summarise_each(grouped_df1,funs(mean=mean,std_error=std.error))


# Define the top and bottom of the errorbars
limits <- aes(ymax = mean + std_error, ymin=mean-std_error)

#Begin your ggplot
#Here we are plotting site vs mean and filling by another factor variable when
g<-ggplot(summarised_df1,aes(site,mean))

#Creating bar to show the factor variable position_dodge 
#ensures side by side creation of factor bars
g<-g+geom_bar(stat = "identity",position = position_dodge())

#creation of error bar
g<-g+geom_errorbar(limits,width=0.25,position = position_dodge(width = 0.9))
#print graph
g

For df2 plot

# Group data by when and site
grouped_df2<-group_by(df2,when,site)

#summarise grouped data and calculate mean and standard error using function mean and std.error
summarised_df2<-summarise_each(grouped_df2,funs(mean=mean,std_error=std.error))

# Define the top and bottom of the errorbars
limits <- aes(ymax = mean + std_error, ymin=mean-std_error)

#Begin your ggplot
#Here we are plotting site vs mean and filling by another factor variable when
g<-ggplot(summarised_df2,aes(site,mean,fill=when))

#Creating bar to show the factor variable position_dodge 
#ensures side by side creation of factor bars
g<-g+geom_bar(stat = "identity",position = position_dodge())

#creation of error bar
g<-g+geom_errorbar(limits,width=0.25,position = position_dodge(width = 0.9))
#print graph
g
