The idea
A density plot smooths a histogram into a curve, so the peaks, spread and skew of a distribution show without the choice of bins. Stacking several curves, as in a ridgeline, compares groups cleanly. Read the height as likelihood, not as a count.
Where to use it
- Distributions across years or groups
- Comparing many groups in a ridgeline
- Temperature, income or score distributions
- Showing where a group peaks
