چکیده
This review introduces some commonly used methods for assessing the performance of a diagnostic test. The sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio of a test are discussed. The uses of the receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve are explained.

Non parametric ROC summary statistics
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are useful statistical tools for medical diagnostic testing. It has been proved its capability to assess diagnostic marker’s ability to distinguish between healthy and diseased subjects and to compare different diagnostic markers. In this paper we introduce non parametric ROC summary statistics to assess a ROC curve across the entire range of FPFs ...
متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS An Improved Method for Bandwidth Selection When Estimating ROC Curves
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used to describe the performance of a diagnostic test which classifies observations into two groups. We introduce a new method for selecting bandwidths when computing kernel estimates of ROC curves. Our technique allows for interaction between the distributions of each group of observations and gives substantial improvement in MISE over other...
متن کاملAdvantages to transforming the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve into likelihood ratio co-ordinates.
Traditionally, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for a diagnostic test plots true positives (sensitivity) against false positives (one minus specificity). However, this representation brings with it several drawbacks. A transformation to positive and negative likelihood ratio co-ordinates, scaled by base-ten logarithms, offers several advantages. First we motivate the use of pos...
متن کاملMeta-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy with mada
The R-package mada is a tool for the meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy. In contrast to univariate meta-analysis, diagnostic meta-analysis requires bivariate models. An additional challenge is to provide a summary receiver operating characteristic curves that seek to integrate receiver operator characteristic curves of primary studies. The package implements the approach of Reitsma, Glas, Rut...
متن کاملEstimating the Area under a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve For Repeated Measures Design
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is widely used for diagnosing as well as for judging the discrimination ability of different statistical models. Although theories about ROC curves have been established and computation methods and computer software are available for cross-sectional design, limited research for estimating ROC curves and their summary statistics has been done for...
