Receiver operating characteristic analysis of photoreceptor sensitivity
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1983To understand the workings of neural systems and to place neural modelmaking on a firm foundation, it is useful to frame both experiments and models in the context of receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC analysis). The presence of noise and of nonlinear signaling are compelling reasons for the use of ROC analysis.

Influence Analysis for the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve
Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, 2017Classification measures play essential roles in the assessment and construction of classifiers. Hence, determining how to prevent these measures from being affected by individual observations has become an important problem. In this paper, we propose several indexes based on the influence function and the concept of local influence to identify ...

Receiver Operating Characteristic Analysis for the Evaluation of Diagnosis and Prediction
Radiology, 2009The review by Shiraishi and colleagues shows that receiver operating characteristic methods have been used to assess diagnostic performance of imaging modalities for early detection, diagnosis and staging, and treatment of disease across the spectrum of medical conditions.

Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of clinical risk models
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2001Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis is a useful method to measure the ability of a clinical risk model to discriminate between hospital deaths and survivors. Its use in medicine originated as a method for synthesizing the specificity and sensitivity of diagnostic tests across a spectrum of possible cut points.

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of neural code efficacies
Biological Cybernetics, 1996Nerve cell signals are different in form from the stimuli that evoke them and they exhibit complex spatio-temporal characteristics. This defines a neural coding problem which is addressed by two current theories: Multiple Meaning Theory holds that neural signals contain patterns that make statements about combinations of stimulus properties; the Task ...

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Analysis
2009Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC curves) have been used for years in decision making from signals, such as radar or radiology. Basically they plot the hit rate versus the false alarm rate. They were introduced recently in data mining and machine learning to take into account different misclassification costs, or to deal with skewed class ...

Analysis of clustered data in receiver operating characteristic studies
Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 1998Clustered data is not simply correlated data, but has its own unique aspects. In this paper, various methods for correlated receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve data that have been extended specifically to clustered data are reviewed. For those methods that have not yet been extended, suggestions for their application to clustered ROC studies

Receiver operating characteristic analysis for biliary complications in liver transplantation
Liver Transplantation and Surgery, 1997Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the use of the serum chemical markers, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and total bilirubin (BR) as tests for biliary complications in patients who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation.

Receiver operating characteristic analysis of sphincter electromyography for parkinsonian syndrome
Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2012AbstractAimsWe performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to determine the ability of sphincter electromyography (EMG) to distinguish multiple system atrophy (MSA) from other parkinsonisms. The following was determined: (1) the appropriate motor unit potential (MUP) parameter among duration, phase, and amplitude; (2) the desirable ...

Perceptions of orthodontic treatment need: Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1996Abstract This study aimed to investigate the variations in dentists' perception of need for orthodontic treatment. Sixteen dentists viewed forty clinical vignettes and recorded their decisions according to the certainty with which they would offer treatment for each case.
