چکیده
There are various methods to estimate the parameters in the binormal model for the ROC curve. In this paper, we propose a conceptually simple and computationally feasible Bayesian estimation method using a rank-based likelihood. Posterior consistency is also established. We compare the new method with other estimation methods and conclude that our estimator generally performs better than its competitors.

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 کاملBayesian ROC curve estimation under verification bias.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve has been widely used in medical science for its ability to measure the accuracy of diagnostic tests under the gold standard. However, in a complicated medical practice, a gold standard test can be invasive, expensive, and its result may not always be available for all the subjects under study. Thus, a gold standard test is implemented only when it i...
متن کاملEstimation of the Parameters of the Lomax Distribution using the EM Algorithm and Lindley Approximation
Estimation of statistical distribution parameter is one of the important subject of statistical inference. Due to the applications of Lomax distribution in business, economy, statistical science, queue theory, internet traffic modeling and so on, in this paper, the parameters of Lomax distribution under type II censored samples using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are estimated. Wherea...
