5. Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis graphs


 

ROC curve

Description: In a ROC curve the true positive rate (Sensitivity) is plotted against the false positive rate (100-Specificity) for different cut-off points. Each point on the ROC plot represents a sensitivity/specificity pair corresponding to a particular decision threshold.
Requires: one continuous or ordinal variable, and a dichotomous variable identifying positive and negative cases.
Command: ROC curve analysis


 

Interactive dot diagram

Description: Additional graph in ROC curve analysis. The data of both positive and negative groups are displayed as dots on two vertical lines. A movable horizontal line indicates the cut-off point with the best separation between the two groups.
Requires: one continuous or ordinal variable, and a dichotomous variable identifying positive and negative cases.
Command: Interactive dot diagram


 

Plot versus criterion values

Description: Additional graph in ROC curve analysis. The sensitivity and specificity, and optionally their 95% Confidence Intervals, are plotted against the different criterion values.
Requires: one continuous or ordinal variable, and a dichotomous variable identifying positive and negative cases.
Command: Plot versus criterion values


 

Comparison of ROC curves

Description: This graphs displays two or more ROC curves.
Requires: 2 to 6 continuous or ordinal variables, and a dichotomous variable identifying positive and negative cases.
Command: Comparison of ROC curves
