Plot multiple series where each series have a distinct line type and specific part of each series colored differently using ggplot2

I want to plot multiple series where each series have a distinct line type and specific part of each series colored differently using ggplot2.

I prepared the data and plot it as follows:

# Load melted data frame
df = read.table(text="time,group,variable,value
1,train,preds,-1.01327781066807
2,train,preds,-1.06923407042272

27,test,actual,0.999883908716498", sep=",", stringsAsFactors=F, header=T)

# plot
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=time, y=value)) + geom_line(aes(color=group, linetype=variable))

The result is:

ggplot

There is a break between train and test part of the series. How can I get them connected? I tried geom_path but couldn't do it.

You need to create another data point to connect the line. For example

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

# I get the first record of test data for each variable and assign
# the group variable to train
additional_line <- df %>% 
  filter(group == "test") %>%
  group_by(variable) %>%
  filter(time == min(time)) %>%
  ungroup() %>%
  mutate(group = "train")

# Then binded them into the original dataset
df_revised <- bind_rows(df, additional_line)

# Now plot the new data with train line connected to the test line by
# additional train line.
ggplot(data=df_revised, aes(x=time, y=value)) + 
  geom_line(aes(color=group, linetype=variable))


# You can draw the original data without additional records if not 
# using linetype 
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=time, y=value)) + 
  geom_line(aes(group = variable, color=group))


# When using linetype in plot this config will cause errors
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=time, y=value)) + 
  geom_line(aes(group = variable, color=group, linetype = variable))
#> Error: geom_path: If you are using dotted or dashed lines, colour,
#> size and linetype must be constant over the line
