I've seen some related questions, but I didn't see one for multiple comparisons in a lineplot. I'd like to plot the significance of paired t-tests in the lineplot below. How could I do that?

  • From t-tests, I know that:

G2 Cat_A > G1 Cat_A SIG
G2 Cat_B = G1 Cat_B NS

G1 Cat_B > Cat_A SIG
G2 Cat_B = Cat_A NS

  • So, I'd like to plot it like this:

desired output

Question : Is it possible to do that using ggplot2 ?

  • Obs: the ggplot2 code I already have:
data %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = CATEGORIES, y = CONT_Y)) +
  stat_summary(aes(group = MY_GROUP, color = MY_GROUP), 
               position = position_dodge(width = 0)) +
  stat_summary(fun = mean, shape = 4) +
  stat_summary(aes(group = MY_GROUP, linetype = MY_GROUP, color = MY_GROUP),
               fun = mean, geom = "line", size = 1, position = position_dodge(width = 0)) +
  theme_bw() +
  labs(x = "Categories A and B",
       y = "Continuos Y",
       title = "This is my plot") +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(legend.position = "right",
        legend.background = element_rect(color = "black"),  
        axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 0, hjust = 0.5, face = "bold"), 
        plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5, face = "bold"),
        axis.text.y = element_text(face = "bold"))
