Bland-Altman Analysis

The Bland-Altman analysis is a graphical and statistical technique for assessing agreement between two measurement methods applied to the same subjects. Introduced by J. Martin Bland and Douglas G. Altman in their landmark 1986 Lancet paper, it plots the difference between the two methods against their mean for each subject, and derives the bias (mean difference) along with limits of agreement (LoA) that capture 95% of differences in the population.
