Dear Bernd, Omitting the NA values from the dataset will work.
ggplot(aes(x = x, color = g), data = na.omit(mydf)) + geom_density() Notice that I have omitted the group argument. It is redundant in this case.

See the following example: library(ggplot2) x <- rnorm(150) g <- as.factor(c(rep(c(0,1,NA),50))) mydf <- data.frame(x,g) m <- ggplot(aes(x = x, group = g, color = g), data = mydf) m + geom_density() How do I get rid of the NAs (i.e. the blue colored curve)? I thought ## m <- ggplot(aes(x = x, group = g, color = g, na.rm = TRUE), ## data = mydf) ## m + geom_density() or ## m <- ggplot(aes(x = x, group = g, color = g), data = mydf) ## m + geom_density() ## m + stat_density(na.rm = TRUE) etc. would solve my problem but to no avail.
