Understanding Density Plots in R and Overlapping Them Introduction to Density Plots A density plot is a graphical representation of the distribution of data. It is calculated by taking the kernel density estimate (KDE) of the data. KDE is a method used to estimate the underlying probability density function (PDF) of a continuous random variable. In R, density plots are created using the plot() function with the density() function as its argument.
