Using stat_sum

In the Vocab dataset, education and vocabulary are integer variables. In the first course, you saw that this is one of the four causes of overplotting. You'd get a single point at each intersection between the two variables.

One solution, shown in the step 1, is jittering with transparency. Another solution is to use stat_sum(), which calculates the total number of overlapping observations and maps that onto the size aesthetic.

stat_sum() allows a special variable, ..prop.., to show the proportion of values within the dataset.
