Fit differences

Regression of the differences on the true value describes the relationship between the methods.

Mean difference measures the constant relationship between the variables. An assumption is that the difference is not relative to magnitude across the measuring interval. If the differences are related to the magnitude, the relationship should be modeled by using relative differences or regressing the differences on the true value.
