ROC curves, test accuracy, and the description of diagnostic tests
D Mossman and E Somoza
Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio 45220.
Clinicians can gain an enhanced understanding of the role of diagnostic
tests once they are familiar and comfortable with the descriptions of test
performance provided by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
This article explores the ways that ROC methods quantify test accuracy and
describes how ROC methods characterize the distributions of test outcomes
in study populations.
