Basic principles of ROC analysis
TL;DR: ROC analysis is shown to be related in a direct and natural way to cost/benefit analysis of diagnostic decision making and the concepts of "average diagnostic cost" and "average net benefit" are developed and used to identify the optimal compromise among various kinds of diagnostic error.
Journal ArticleDOI
ROC methodology in radiologic imaging
TL;DR: This article develops ROC concepts in an intuitive way by identifying the fundamental issues that motivate ROC analysis and practical techniques for ROC data collection and data analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some practical issues of experimental design and data analysis in radiological ROC studies.
TL;DR: The purposes of this paper are to make users of ROC methodology in medical imaging aware of potential problems that should be confronted before an ROC study is begun and to indicate, at least broadly, how those problems may be dealt with, given the present state of the art.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum likelihood estimation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves from continuously-distributed data
TL;DR: Two new algorithms for fitting binormal ROC curves to continuously-distributed data are developed: a true ML algorithm (LABROC4) and a quasi-ML algorithm (LabROC5) that requires substantially less computation with large data sets.
