Dear JP,
Please do not cross post between lists.
Here is a possible solution.
library(ggplot2)
p <- rep(c(rep("condition_a", 4), rep("condition_b", 4)), 2)
q <- c(rep("grp_1", 8), rep("grp_2", 8))
r <- sample(1:5, 16, rep = T)
d <- data.frame(p, q, r)
ggplot(d, aes(x = r)) + geom_ribbon(aes(ymax = ..density.., ymin =
-..density..), stat = "density") + facet_grid(q ~ p) + coord_flip()
ggplot(d, aes(x = r, fill = p)) + geom_ribbon(alpha = 0.2, aes(ymax =
..density.., ymin = -..density..), stat = "density") + facet_wrap( ~ q) +
coord_flip()
Best regards,
Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than
asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the
experiment died of.
