It is not in a library because it would take more effort to call such
a function than to do the computation directly.

Given a "truth value" x1 and a measurement x2, the percent
disagreement is 100*abs(x1-x2)/x1

If you don't have "truth value" but two measurements x1 and x2, then
replace the denominator by the best estimate of the truth

= (x1 + X2)/2.
