Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve Analysis for Medical Diagnostic Test Evaluation

author

  • Karimollah Hajian-Tilaki
Abstract:

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, the advantage of ROC curve to determine the optimal cut off values and the issues of bias and confounding have been discussed.

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for medical researchers.

Sensitivity and specificity are two components that measure the inherent validity of a diagnostic test for dichotomous outcomes against a gold standard. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is the plot that depicts the trade-off between the sensitivity and (1-specificity) across a series of cut-off points when the diagnostic test is continuous or on ordinal scale (minimum 5 categories)...

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve: Practical Review for Radiologists

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which is defined as a plot of test sensitivity as they coordinate versus its 1-specificity or false positive rate (FPR) as the x coordinate, is an effective method of evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests. The purpose of this article is to provide a nonmathematical introduction to ROC analysis. Important concepts involved in the correc...

A Concise Introduction to Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve

ROC curve analysis is used widely in medicine as a method for evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests (3,5,6,10), but has been used recently in many agricultural applications (2,4,5,11,12). The ROC curve provides information regarding how often a test’s predictions are correct, and provides a graphical method for evaluating and discriminating between different diagnostic tests or modific...

Receiver Operating Characteristic ( ROC ) Curves

Assessment of predictive accuracy is a critical aspect of evaluating and comparing models, algorithms or technologies that produce the predictions. In the field of medical diagnosis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves have become the standard tool for this purpose and its use is becoming increasingly common in other fields such as finance, atmospheric science and machine learning. T...
