Bland-Altman Method of Comparison

Yughaber — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 01:23:20 GMT

I am trying to compare pressure points from two different devices. These points have been collected at different times during the day from multiple locations where these devices have been set up. I want to use the Bland-Altman method, however, I am confused if I should combine my points collected at different times during the day under just the pressure point of one device and compare it versus the second device regardless of timestamp.

I guess I am more confused if for this method I have to only have two variables or can I have more?

Thanks!

Hello,

Bland-Altman is not in the documentation, so you have to code it up yourself.

Here are some resources that might help you out:

Paper 1815-2018
Simple Methods for Repeatability and Comparability: Bland-Altman Plots, Bias, and Measurement Error

Also, look on this communities site. --> Numerous topics on Bland-Altman.
Same for << Bland-Altman SAS >> search on the internet.

Good luck,

Koen
