I would appreciate for some advise how to generate a Tukey Mean-Difference Plot with the tmd function part of the lattice library. I have two test results (log transformed) which showing a correlation on a scatterplot. However the correlation line is parallel displaced depending on a clinical condition. I thought to a Tukey Mean Difference Plot would show me the difference betweenthe two values.
I don't have the literature how the plot gets constructed, but my understanding
from http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/software/dataplot/refman1/auxillar/meandiff.htm is that the first from each distribution a qq plot is constructed and than the coardiantes of the qq-plot are transformed according the formula x=x+y/2 and y=x+y.
I tried this with
tmd(xyplot(a ~ b| c, data=data)) with
a and b holding my log10 transformed numerical values, and c the condition.
However I think I don't get a Tukey Mean-Difference plot. It looks to me that only
x=x+y/2 and y=x+y. transformation is performed (a=a+b; b=b+a/2).
and the result is displayed as lattice graphic.
It would be great if anyone could help me to find the error in my plot.
May thanks
Frank
