Adding Lines to a Plot from Another DataFrame in R Using ggplot2
Adding Lines to a Plot from Another DataFrame ====================================================== In this article, we will explore how to add lines to a plot created using the ggplot2 library in R. We’ll use an example where we have two dataframes: demo_df and demo_mean_sd. The first dataframe contains the frequency of mutations for different samples, while the second dataframe contains the mean and standard deviation of these frequencies. Problem Statement We want to add lines to our base plot that represent the upper and lower bounds of the standard deviation and the mean of the frequencies.

Optimizing Data Manipulation with data.table: A Faster Alternative to Filtering and Sorting Rows with NAs
Optimized Solution Here is the optimized solution using data.table: library(data.table) # Define the columns to filter by cols <- paste0("Val", 1:2) # Sort the desired columns by group while sending NAs to the end setDT(data)[, (cols) := lapply(.SD, sort, na.last = TRUE), .SDcols = cols, by = .(Var1, Var2)] # Define an index which checks for rows with NAs in all columns indx <- rowSums(is.na(data[, cols, with = FALSE])) < length(cols) # Simple subset by condition data[indx] Explanation This solution takes advantage of data.
