Application of adjusted-receiver operating characteristic curve analysis in combination of biomarkers for early detection of gestational diabetes mellitus
Introduction: In medical diagnostic field, evaluation of diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers or tests has always been a matter of concern. In some situations, one biomarker alone may not be sufficiently sensitive and specific for prediction of a disease. However, combining multiple biomarkers may lead to better diagnostic. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of combination of bio...

متن کاملComposite quantile regression for the receiver operating characteristic curve
The covariate-specific receiver operating characteristic curve is frequently used to evaluate the classification accuracy of a diagnostic test when it is associated with certain covariates. In this paper, we proposed a new procedure for estimating this curve based on a reformulation of the conventional location-scale model as well as the idea of composite quantile regression. Asymptotic normali...
متن کاملReceiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve Analysis for Medical Diagnostic Test Evaluation
This review provides the basic principle and rational for ROC analysis of rating and continuous diagnostic test results versus a gold standard. Derived indexes of accuracy, in particular area under the curve (AUC) has a meaningful interpretation for disease classification from healthy subjects. The methods of estimate of AUC and its testing in single diagnostic test and also comparative studies...
