I'm trying to add some custom features to a bin-scatter plot using ggplot2. The original way that I was doing the bin-scatter was with stat_summary_bin(fun.y="mean"). This seems to produce a reasonable binning, but when I try to reproduce it by binning manually, I keep getting slightly different results -- especially at the right tail.
Can anyone help me figure out how the binning in stat_summary_bin is done? I need to figure out if this is a reliable form of bin-scattering that I can use...

x = runif(1000, 0, 10)
y = x + rnorm(1000, 0.5, 2)
plot(x,y)
df <- data.frame(x = x, y = y)
p <- df %>%
ggplot(aes(x = x, y = y)) +
stat_summary_bin(aes(color ="stat summary"),fun.y = "mean", size = 2.5, geom="point", bins=20)
p
## Attempt 1 at binning
df$x_bin <- mltools::bin_data(df$x, bins=20, binType = "explicit")
df_binned <- df %>%
group_by(x_bin) %>%
mutate(
x_binned = mean(x),
y_binned = mean(y)
) %>%
ungroup()
p <- p + geom_point(aes(x = df_binned$x_binned, y = df_binned$y_binned, color = "manual bin"), size = 2.5)
p
## Attempt 2 at binning
xbreaks = quantile(df$x, probs = seq(0,1,0.05))
df_binned$x_bin_2 <- cut(df$x, xbreaks, include.lowest = T)
df_binned <- df_binned %>%
group_by(x_bin_2) %>%
mutate(
x_binned2 = mean(x),
y_binned2 = mean(y)
) %>%
ungroup()
p <- p + geom_point(aes(x = df_binned$x_binned2, y = df_binned$y_binned2, color = "2nd manual bin"), size = 2.5)
p
