Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)

ROC.

The ability of a test to discriminate diseased cases from normal cases
is evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve
analysis (Metz, 1978; Zweig & Campbell, 1993). ROC curves can also be
used to compare the diagnostic performance of two or more laboratory or
diagnostic tests (Griner et al., 1981).
