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 accessible Bayesian estimation method using a partial likelihood based on ranks. 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.

Bayesian ROC curve estimation under binormality using a rank likelihood
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 co...
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 کاملHyperbolic Cosine Log-Logistic Distribution and Estimation of Its Parameters by Using Maximum Likelihood Bayesian and Bootstrap Methods
In this paper, a new probability distribution, based on the family of hyperbolic cosine distributions is proposed and its various statistical and reliability characteristics are investigated. The new category of HCF distributions is obtained by combining a baseline F distribution with the hyperbolic cosine function. Based on the base log-logistics distribution, we introduce a new di...
