TLDR
In this article, receiver operating characteristic graphs are shown to be a variant form of ordinal dominance graphs, and several different methods of constructing confidence intervals for the area measure are presented and the strengths and weaknesses of each of these methods are discussed.About:

Nonparametric sequential evaluation of diagnostic biomarkers.
TL;DR: Nonparametric group sequential testing procedures to evaluate and compare the area of biomarkers under their receiver operating characteristic curves, with either independent or paired test outcomes, are developed.

Application of logistic regression in combination with multiple diagnostic tests for auxiliary diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Shi Qiang Jiang,Qing Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Adopting the logistic regression in combination with multiple diagnostic tests and using the probability prediction to decide the cut-off value may help increase the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for NPC.

Biostatistical methods for the validation of alternative methods for in vitro toxicity testing.
Lutz Edler,Carina Ittrich +1 more
TL;DR: Biostatistical methods are presented which are of potential use and benefit for the validation of alternative methods for the risk assessment of chemicals, providing at least an equivalent level of protection through in vitro toxicity testing to that obtained through the use of current in vivo methods.

Tournament leave-pair-out cross-validation for receiver operating characteristic analysis.
Ileana Montoya Perez,Ileana Montoya Perez,Antti Airola,Peter J. Boström,Ivan Jambor,Ivan Jambor,Tapio Pahikkala +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown using both synthetic and real-world data that tournament leave- Pair-out is as reliable as leave-pair-out for area under receiver operating characteristic curve estimation and the bias in leave-one-out cross-validation on low-dimensional data is confirmed.

Consistency and Unbiasedness of Certain Nonparametric Tests
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there exist strictly unbiased and consistent tests for the univariate and multivariate two-and fc-sample problem, for the hypothesis of independence, and for the hypotheses of symmetry with respect to a given point.
On a Use of the Mann-Whitney Statistic
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the known properties of the U statistic which are of importance for its use in testing hypotheses and discuss another use of this statistic which has attracted less attention.
