I was told to use geom_jitter over geom_points and reason given in help is it handle overplotting better in smaller dataset. I am confused what does overplotting mean and why it occurs in smaller

Jul 14, 2015 · ggplot2 now has a separate geom for this called geom_jitter so you don't need the position = dodge or position = position_dodge()) argument. Here applied to OP's example:

Mar 12, 2021 · I'm doing a common R ggplot2 graph with boxplot: boxplots supplemented individual samples as points shown by geom_jitter (), to show the individual sample positions and numbers in each group. Normally I have not noticed a problem, but with some recent data, I've noticed substantial inaccuracy and variation in the y position of the jitter.

Attempting to repurpose code for political survey I found on reddit for much smaller sample size. I am creating a scatterplot using geom_jitter. Here is my code: ggplot (sae, aes (Alignment, Aborti...
