Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis: basic principles and applications in radiology.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis is a widely accepted method for analyzing and comparing the diagnostic accuracy of radiological tests. In this paper we will explain the basic principles underlying ROC analysis and provide practical information on the use and interpretation of ROC curves. The major applications of ROC analysis will be discussed and their limitations will be addressed.

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve Analysis for Medical Diagnostic Test Evaluation
This review provides the basic principle and rational for ROC analysis of rating and continuous diagnostic test results versus a gold standard. Derived indexes of accuracy, in particular area under the curve (AUC) has a meaningful interpretation for disease classification from healthy subjects. The methods of estimate of AUC and its testing in single diagnostic test and also comparative studies...
متن کاملReceiver operating characteristic analysis: a tool for the quantitative evaluation of observer performance and imaging systems.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis provides the most comprehensive description of diagnostic accuracy available to date, because it estimates and reports all of the combinations of sensitivity and specificity that a diagnostic test is able to provide. After sketching the 6 levels at which diagnostic efficacy can be assessed, this paper explains the conceptual foundations of conven...
متن کاملInterval Estimation and Inferential Procedures for the Measures of Hybrid Roc (HROC) Curve
The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve originated during Second World War to analyse radar signals by observing the relationship between signal and noise [1]. The framework of ROC Curve has a wide spread of interdisciplinary applications such as human perception, decision making [2], industrial quality control [3], military monitoring [4] etc. In later years, the applications of ROC ...
متن کاملA general class of hierarchical ordinal regression models with applications to correlated ROC analysis
The authors discuss a general class of hierarchical ordinal regression models that includes both location and scale parameters, allows link functions to be selected adaptively as finite mixtures of normal cumulative distribution functions, and incorporates flexible correlation structures for the latent scale variables. Exploiting the well known correspondence between ordinal regression models a...
متن کاملMixtures of receiver operating characteristic curves.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are ubiquitous in the analysis of imaging metrics as markers of both diagnosis and prognosis. While empirical estimation of ROC curves remains the most popular method, there are several reasons to consider smooth estimates based on a parametric model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mixture model is considered for modeling the di...
