Dear list,
I really couldnt find a better way to describe my question, so please
bear with me.
To illustrate my problem, i have a matrix with ecological distances
(m1) and one with genetic distances (m2) for a number of biological
species. I have merged both matrices and want to plot both distances
versus each other, as illustrated in this example:
library(reshape)
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
dist1 <- matrix(runif(16),4,4)
dist2 <- matrix(runif(16),4,4)
rownames(dist1) <- colnames(dist1) <- paste0("A",1:4)
rownames(dist2) <- colnames(dist2) <- paste0("A",1:4)
m1 <- melt(dist1)
m2 <- melt(dist2)
final <- full_join(m1,m2, by=c("Var1","Var2"))
ggplot(final, aes(value.x,value.y)) + geom_point()
Here is the twist:
The biological species belong to certain groups, which are given in
the dataframe `species`, for example:
species <- data.frame(spcs=as.character(paste0("A",1:4)),
grps=as.factor(c(rep("cat",2),(rep("dog",2)))))
I want to check if a x,y pair in final (as in `final$Var1`,
`final$Var2`) belongs to the same group of species (here "cat" or
"dog"), and then want to color all groups specifically in the
x,y-scatterplot.
Thus, i need an R translation for:
final$group <- If (final$Var1 and final$Var2) belong to the same group
as specified
in species, then assign the species group here, else do nothing
or assign NA
so i can proceed with
ggplot(final, aes(value.x,value.y, col=group)) + geom_point()
So, in the example, the pairs A1-A1, A1-A2, A2-A1, A2-A2 should be
identified as "both cats", hence should get the factor "cat".
Thank you very much!
Tim
