A Semi-parametric Approach to Estimation of ROC Curves for Multivariate Binormal Mixtures
A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve reflects the performance of a system which decides between two competing actions in a test of statistical hypothesis. This paper addresses the inference on ROC curves for the following problem: how can one statistically validate the performance of a system with a claimed ROC curve, ROC0 say? Our proposed solution consists of two main components: F...
متن کاملComparison of non-parametric confidence intervals for the area under the ROC curve of a continuous-scale diagnostic test.
The accuracy of a diagnostic test with continuous-scale results is of high importance in clinical medicine. It is often summarised by the area under the ROC curve (AUC). In this article, we discuss and compare nine non-parametric confidence intervals of the AUC for a continuous-scale diagnostic test. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the relative performance of the confidence interva...
متن کاملNon-parametric estimation of ROC curve
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is widely applied in measuring discriminatory ability of diagnostic or prognostic tests. This makes ROC analysis one of the most active research areas in medical statistics. Many parametric and semiparametric estimation methods have been proposed for estimating the ROC curve and its functionals. In this paper, we propose a fully nonparametric Bayesi...
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...
متن کاملSemi-Parametric Inference for the Partial Area Under the ROC Curve
Diagnostic tests are central in the field of modern medicine. One of the main factors for interpreting a diagnostic test is the discriminatory accuracy. For a continuous-scale diagnostic test, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, AUC, is a useful onenumber summary index for the diagnostic accuracy of the test. When only a particular region of the ROC curve would be ...
