Other versions	This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Bland-altman plot.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Creation

This plot was created by using the R statistical programming language. Here is the function:

bland_altman_plot <- function(method1,method2,
	xlab="Average", ylab="Difference")
{
	avgMean <- stack(mean(as.data.frame(t(cbind(method1,
		method2)))))$values
					
	diff <- method1 - method2
	plot(diff ~ avgMean,pch=16,ylim=c(-100,100),xlab=xlab,ylab=ylab)
	
	abline(h=mean(diff)-c(-2,0,2)*sd(diff),lty=2)
}
