Since the data input is data.frame, it's better to sort the date-times from early to recent and make implicit missing values explicit before using stat_acf.

stat_acf(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  geom = "bar",
  position = "identity",
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  lag.max = NULL,
  type = "correlation",
  level = 0.95,
  ...
)

Arguments

mapping

Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes() or aes_(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

data

The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options:

If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify() for which variables will be created.

A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame, and will be used as the layer data. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)).

geom

The geometric object to use display the data

position

Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

na.rm

Logical. If TRUE, missing values are removed.

show.legend

logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.

inherit.aes

If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders().

lag.max

An integer indicating the maximum lag at which to calculate the acf.

type

A character string giving the type of the acf to be computed. The default is the "correlation" and other options are "covariance" and "partial".

level

A numeric defining the confidence level. If NULL, no significant line to be drawn.

...

Other arguments passed on to layer(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like colour = "red" or size = 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.

Examples

library(dplyr) fstaff <- hourly_peds %>% filter(Sensor_ID == 13) # use ggplot2 fstaff %>% ggplot(aes(x = ..lag.., y = Hourly_Counts)) + stat_acf(geom = "bar")
