|
{cmd:batplot} produces a Bland-Altman plot adjusted for trend.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{pstd}
|
||
|
The standard Bland-Altman plot is between the difference of paired variables versus the average, this is produced
|
||
|
using the {bf:notrend} option. The main addition that this command handles is when there is a linear relationship between
|
||
|
the the paired difference and the paired average. A regression model is used to adjust the limits of agreement accordingly.
|
||
|
This is particularly useful when the two variables might be measured on different scales and hence a straight conversion
|
||
|
factor would recalibrate the two variables.

{opt info:} specifies that the percentage of points outside the limits of agreement are displayed as a subtitle. Additionally
|
||
|
when using the notrend option the limits of agreement and mean difference are included in the subtitle.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{opt val:abel}({varname}) specifies that the points outside the limits of agreement be labelled using the variable {it:varname}.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{opt shading:}(min max) specifies the extent of shading beyond the range of the data. The default is that the limits of
|
||
|
shading is determined by the values in the {hi:xlabel} option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{opt notrend:} specifies that the original Bland-Altman plot (without a trend) be plotted.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{opt moptions:} specifies options for the markers that lie outside the limits of agreement, the options can be anything from
|
||
|
the scatter marker options {help scatter##marker_options}.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||

{opt sc:atter} specifies options for the scatter part of the final plot.

Using the {hi:auto.dta} dataset supplied with STATA 8 this command can check whether there is agreement between
|
||
|
turning circle (ft) and miles per gallon, click the highlighted text in order,
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}{stata sysuse auto, clear}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}{stata batplot mpg turn}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{pstd}
|
||
|
This is the most basic graphic and using twoway options the look can be improved by clicking below,
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{stata batplot mpg turn, title(Agreement between mpg and turn) xlab(26(4)38) }
|
||
|
|
||
|
{pstd}
|
||
|
By specifying extra options the outlying points can be labelled and identified by the car make,
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{stata batplot mpg turn, title(Agreement between mpg and turn) info valabel(make) xlab(26(4)38) }
|
||
|
|
||
|
{pstd}
|
||
|
To obtain the original Bland Altman plot use the notrend option,
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{stata batplot mpg turn, title(Agreement between mpg and turn) info valabel(make) notrend xlab(26(4)38) }
|
||
|
|
||
|
{pstd}
|
||
|
To improve the labelling of the point VW it may be preferable to change the clock position of the label i.e.
|
||
|
labels could appear to the left of the point. This is handled below with {hi: moptions()}.
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{stata batplot mpg turn, title(Agreement between mpg and turn) info valabel(make) notrend xlab(26(4)38) moptions(mlabp(9))}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{pstd}
|
||
|
Additionally in the case of multiple scatter points by using the {hi:scatter()} option the user can specify to "{hi:jitter}" datapoints
|
||
|
|
||
|
{phang}
|
||
|
{stata batplot mpg turn, notrend xlab(26(4)38) moptions(mlabp(9)) sc(jitter(4))}
