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:

The conditional relative odds ratio provided less biased results for comparing diagnostic test accuracy in meta-analyses
TL;DR: The CROR method estimates less biased indexes with SEs, and conditioned on discordant results, it is much less problematic ethically and economically.

TL;DR: Clinicians should be cautious about interpretation of suppression and stimulation tests in the diverse population of patients with hypercortisolism, as the data suggest that when using the combined dexamethasone-suppressed CRH stimulation test, a 15-min post-CRH ACTH value had the highest diagnostic accuracy for the detection of CS.

A nonparametric framework for comparing trends and gaps across tests
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for the comparison of nonparametric trend, gap, and gap trend representations across tests is presented. But the comparison is restricted to test score distributions on the same score scale.

The effects of induced anxiety on pain perception: a signal detection analysis.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of induced anxiety on pain perception were assessed by self-report verbal indices and physiological indices, and the major finding of the study was that induced anxiety, as defined by the combination of physiological and verbal indices, decreases pain sensitivity and the tendency to report sensations as painful.

Strength of memory encoding affects physiological responses in the Guilty Actions Test
TL;DR: It turned out that culprits specifically forgot peripheral crime details during a period of 2 weeks whereas informed innocents showed similar forgetting for all details, indicating that the process of memory encoding and consolidation has significant effects on the physiological response pattern in the GAT.

On a Test of Whether one of Two Random Variables is Stochastically Larger than the Other
Henry B. Mann,D. R. Whitney +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the limit distribution is normal if n, n$ go to infinity in any arbitrary manner, where n = m = 8 and n = n = 8.

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.
