ROC analysis for markers with mass at zero.
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and in particular the area under the curve (AUC) is commonly used to examine the discriminatory ability of diagnostic markers. Certain markers while basically continuous and non-negative have a positive probability mass (spike) at the value zero. We discuss a flexible modelling approach to such data and contrast it with the standard non-parametr...
متن کاملInfluence of imprecision on ROC curve analysis for cardiac markers.
BACKGROUND There has been considerable debate regarding the impact of assay imprecision on the performance of cardiac biomarkers for diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and risk stratification for future adverse cardiac events. METHODS Using existing data from 2 published clinical trials, we used a resampling method to statistically introduce 5%, 10%, and 20% imprecision to results fo...
متن کاملOptimal cut-off values for tumor markers in cerebrospinal fluid with ROC curve analysis.
To select optimal cut-off values of tumor markers in cerebrospinal fluid for the diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis, the concentrations of CEA, CA125, CA153, CA199, CA724, CYFRA21-1, AFP and NSE were determined by means of double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 21 MC patients, 25 cancer patients without leptomeningeal disease (group one) and 45 meningitis patie...
متن کاملShapes of Implied Volatility with Positive Mass at Zero
We study the shapes of the implied volatility when the underlying distribution has an atom at zero. We show that the behaviour at small strikes is uniquely determined by the mass of the atom up to the third asymptotic order, under mild assumptions on the remaining distribution on the positive real line. We investigate the structural difference with the no-mass-at-zero case, showing how one can—...
متن کاملModeling Nonnegative Data with Clumping at Zero: A Survey
Applications in which data take nonnegative values but have a substantial proportion of values at zero occur in many disciplines. The modeling of such “clumped-at-zero” or “zero-inflated” data is challenging. We survey models that have been proposed. We consider cases in which the response for the non-zero observations is continuous and in which it is discrete. For the continuous and then the d...
