Small-sample precision of ROC-related estimates
MOTIVATION The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves are commonly used in biomedical applications to judge the performance of a discriminant across varying decision thresholds. The estimated ROC curve depends on the true positive rate (TPR) and false positive rate (FPR), with the key metric being the area under the curve (AUC). With small samples these rates need to be estimated from th...
متن کاملComparing interval estimates for small sample ordinal CFA models
Robust maximum likelihood (RML) and asymptotically generalized least squares (AGLS) methods have been recommended for fitting ordinal structural equation models. Studies show that some of these methods underestimate standard errors. However, these studies have not investigated the coverage and bias of interval estimates. An estimate with a reasonable standard error could still be severely biase...
متن کاملSample Size Determination Using Roc Analysis
The paper presents a new method of sample size determination (SSD) based on performance evaluation of systems under study. The method builds upon previous work on Bayesian approach to nonparametric receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis with estimation of probability density functions and confidence intervals for parameters of ROC curve. Technical details of the method together with ...
متن کاملPrecision of molecular time estimates.
Molecular clocks are used to estimate the time of divergence of genes and species and have helped illuminate the evolutionary history of life. In a recent article, Graur and Martin raised concerns regarding confidence intervals of molecular time estimates and fossil calibrations. Although our past work was singled out, their concerns apply generally to the field, including their own previous st...
متن کاملTwo-stage case-control studies: precision of parameter estimates and considerations in selecting sample size.
A two-stage case-control design, in which exposure and outcome are determined for a large sample but covariates are measured on only a subsample, may be much less expensive than a one-stage design of comparable power. However, the methods available to plan the sizes of the stage 1 and stage 2 samples, or to project the precision/power provided by a given configuration, are limited to the case o...
