Use of Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve to Evaluate a Street Lighting Control System

A Concise Introduction to Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve

ROC curve analysis is used widely in medicine as a method for evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests (3,5,6,10), but has been used recently in many agricultural applications (2,4,5,11,12). The ROC curve provides information regarding how often a test’s predictions are correct, and provides a graphical method for evaluating and discriminating between different diagnostic tests or modific...

Using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves to Evaluate Digital Mammography

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are frequently used to compare the accuracy of two or more imaging modalities. This paper addresses the use of ROC analysis to evaluate the speed and accuracy of digital mammography, as compared to conventional film-screen mammography.

An intuitive approach to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

Use of receiver operating characteristic curves to evaluate the clinical performance of analytical systems.

The usefulness of an analytical system in patient care is ultimately judged not by its analytical performance but by its clinical performance, i.e., its ability to separate apparently similar patients into two subgroups, one of which has a particular clinically important condition and another subgroup which does not. This clinical performance can be studied with the tools of signal detectabilit...

The Use of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Analysis to Evaluate Sequence Matching

In this paper, we borrow the idea of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) from clinical medicine and demonstrate its application to sequence comparison. The ROC includes elements of both sensitivity and specificity, and is a quantitative measure of the usefulness of a diagnostic. The ROC is used in this work to investigate the effects of scoring table and gap penalties on database search...
