[R] Bland Altman summary stats for all column combinations

[arun]

HI,
#dat1: data
Combn1<-combn(colnames(dat1)[2:5],2)
#For the first part, may be this helps:
library(plyr)
 res<-lapply(split(Combn1,col(Combn1)),function(x) {x1<-cbind(Var1=colnames(dat1[,x])[1],Var2=colnames(dat1[,x])[2],dat1[,x],Method=dat1[,6]);colnames(x1)[3:4]<- c("V1","V2"); ddply(x1,.(Method,Var1,Var2),summarize, mean1=mean(V1-V2,na.rm=TRUE),sd1=sd(V1-V2,na.rm=TRUE))})
 res[[1]]
#        Method Var1 Var2      mean1      sd1
#1 Simple_2_ROI   G1   G2 -0.6684211 5.223882
#2   Single_ROI   G1   G2  1.1263158 2.313929
#3 WIG_drawn_bg   G1   G2 -1.0894737 4.876576
#4   WIG_Method   G1   G2 -1.1684211 4.894447


Also,
G1 G1 0 0 Simple_2_ROI 
#part is not clear bcz ur ddply() code didn't do that.

A.K.




Hello, 

I have the following data.frame

4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L,

3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,

"Single_ROI", "WIG_drawn_bg", "WIG_Method"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("Study", 
"G1", "G2", "S1", "S2", "Method"), row.names = c(NA, -76L), class = "data.frame") 

This shows the measurement results of 2 operators using 4 
slightly different analysis methods. The operators analyse each data 
file WCBPXXXXX twice - (G1,G2,S1,S2) and there are 4 methods 
(Single_ROI,Simple_2_ROI etc) 

What I would like to do is get the summary statistics from a Bland Altman (Mean vs Difference) plot for all 16 combinations. 

For example for G1 and G2, I can do the following 

ddply(df,.(Method),summarise,mean=mean(G1-G2, na.rm = TRUE), 
             sd=sd(G1-G2, na.rm = TRUE)) 

Eventually I want a data.frame with the format 
Var1 Var2 Mean  Sd Method 
G1   G2   -.67  5.2 Simple_2_ROI 
G1   G2   1.12  2.3 Single_ROI 
G1   G2   -1.08 4.8 WIG_drawn_bg 
G1   G2   -1.17 4.9 WIG_Method 
G1 G1 0 0 Simple_2_ROI 

Is there a simple way to achieve this structure?
