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:

Multiclass ROC Analysis
TL;DR: An extension of the ROC curve to multiclass forecast problems is explored and several different approximations to the full extension are introduced using both artificial and actual forecast datasets.

Detecting corporate tax evasion using a hybrid intelligent system: A case study of Iran
TL;DR: This paper concentrates on the effectiveness of using a hybrid intelligent system that combines multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network, support vector machine (SVM), and logistic regression (LR) classification models with harmony search (HS) optimization algorithm to detect corporate tax evasion for the Iranian National Tax Administration (INTA).

The care and fitting of Naka-Rushton functions to electroretinographic intensity-response data.
TL;DR: An automated system to estimate parameters of the Naka-Rushton function based on a heuristic model of the electroretinogram intensity-response series is developed, comparable to that of a human expert in central retinal vein occlusion.

Plasma levels of soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and early mortality risk among patients enrolling for antiretroviral treatment in South Africa.

TL;DR: Plasma suPAR concentration was the strongest independent predictor of short-term mortality risk among patients with advanced immunodeficiency enrolling in an antiretroviral treatment (ART) programme in South Africa, but lack of a discriminatory threshold did not permit this marker to be used to triage patients according to short- term mortality risk.

Group sequential design for comparative diagnostic accuracy studies
Madhu Mazumdar,Aiyi Liu +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the same reasoning exists for the comparative clinical trials in diagnostic medicine and hence GSD should be utilized in this field for designing trials and hence its resemblance to the Brownian motion is pointed out.

On a Test of Whether one of Two Random Variables is Stochastically Larger than the Other

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.
