Evaluating Predictors of Apple Scab with Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve Analysis

Receiver 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...

Application of Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve for Pipeline Reliability Analysis

Structural reliability analysis of buried pipeline systems is one of the fundamental issues for water and wastewater asset managers. Measuring the accuracy of a reliability analysis or a failure prediction technique is an effective approach to enhancing its applicability and provides guidance on selection of reliability or failure prediction methods. The determination of threshold value for a p...

An intuitive approach to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

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...

Evaluating Eyewitness Identification Procedures Using Receiver Operating Characteristic Analysis

Eyewitness identification is a pivotal issue in applied research because, in practice, a correct identification can help to remove a dangerous criminal from society, but a false identification can lead to the erroneous conviction of an innocent suspect. Consequently, psychologists have tried to ascertain the best procedures for collecting identification evidence, evaluating them using measures ...
