Statistical Approaches to the Analysis of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves

Medical Decision Making, 1984
In this article we review published and some unpublished work in statistical analyses of ROC curves. We describe both single and joint indices and indicate the approaches that have been taken to consider between-reader variations and correlations, within-reader variations, and variations and correlations between cases.

Use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to evaluate sequence matching

Computers & Chemistry, 1996
In this paper, we borrow the idea of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) from clinical medicine and demonstrate its application to sequence comparison. The ROC includes elements of both sensitivity and specificity, and is a quantitative measure of the usefulness of a diagnostic. The ROC is used in this work to investigate the effects of scoring

Parametric receiver operating characteristic curve analysis using mathematica

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2002
Several computer programs have been written to perform receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and are available in the public domain. Here, the author provides the theory and description for 'rocMath', a Mathematica program that performs parametric ROC curve analysis.

A computer program for non-parametric receiver operating characteristic analysis

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 1993
Sensitivity and specificity are key measures of the performance of a given test in detecting a given disorder. For tests yielding numerical scores, sensitivity and specificity usually vary inversely over the range of theoretically possible cutoff scores, complicating the task of quantifying and comparing the diagnostic accuracy of tests.

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Analysis for Characterizing Synaptic Efficacy

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2007
The role of background synaptic activity in cortical processing has recently received much attention. How do individual neurons extract information when embedded in a noisy background? When examining the impact of a synaptic input on postsynaptic firing, it is important to distinguish a change in overall firing probability from a true change in ...

The decision to eject: a receiver operating characteristic analysis.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine, 2002
Although the technology of ejection-seat systems is highly developed and automated, the decision about whether to eject still rests with the pilot. One factor thought to affect that decision is the height at which the decision must be made. For this reason the Royal New Zealand Air Force considered lowering its designated ejection decision height of 10,

Receiver operating characteristic analysis of sensitivity in neural systems

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1977
Receiver operating characteristic analysis and the associated theory of signal detectability provide objective means of examining the sensitivity of the noisy nonlinear neural elements in sensory systems.
