Roc Curve Estimation: an Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
• This work overviews some developments on the estimation of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Estimation methods in this area are constantly being developed, adjusted and extended, and it is thus impossible to cover all topics and areas of application in a single paper. Here, we focus on some frequentist and Bayesian methods which have been mostly employed in the medical setting. Although we emphasize the medical domain, we also describe links with other fields where related developments have been made, and where some modeling concepts are often known under other designations.

Bayesian bootstrap estimation of ROC curve.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is widely applied in measuring discriminatory ability of diagnostic or prognostic tests. This makes the 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 the Bayesian bootstrap (...

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 کاملRoc Curve Estimation by Sparse Atomic Decomposition
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used for classification between two populations. Usually two independent random samples from the populations with absolutely continuous cumulative distribution functions (CDF) F and G are considered. Then the ROC curve is defined as ROC(t) = 1−G(F−1(1− t)) for 0 < t < 1 if the inverse F−1 exists. Classical ROC curve estimator is based on empi...
متن کاملPointwise ROC Confidence Bounds: An Empirical Evaluation
This paper is about constructing and evaluating pointwise confidence bounds on an ROC curve. We describe four confidencebound methods, two from the medical field and two used previously in machine learning research. We evaluate whether the bounds indeed contain the relevant operating point on the “true” ROC curve with a confidence of 1−δ. We then evaluate pointwise confidence bounds on the regi...
متن کاملBayesian 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...
