Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to identify birth weight cutoffs to predict overweight in Mexican school children.
OBJECTIVE To identify birth weight cutoffs to predict overweight in school children and adolescents from Chilpancingo, Mexico, in 2004. METHODS Six hundred and sixty-two male and female children between 5 and 13 years old were selected by probability sampling. Birth weight measures were extracted from vaccination cards. The school children's nutritional status was defined using specific body ...
متن کاملReceiver Operating Characteristic ( ROC ) Curves
Assessment of predictive accuracy is a critical aspect of evaluating and comparing models, algorithms or technologies that produce the predictions. In the field of medical diagnosis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves have become the standard tool for this purpose and its use is becoming increasingly common in other fields such as finance, atmospheric science and machine learning. T...
متن کاملUnderstanding receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
In this issue of the Journal, Auer and colleagues conclude that serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), a biochemical marker of ischemic brain injury, may have clinical utility for the prediction of survival to hospital discharge in patients experiencing the return of spontaneous circulation following at least 5 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The authors used a receiver operat...
متن کاملUsing Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves to Evaluate Digital Mammography
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are frequently used to compare the accuracy of two or more imaging modalities. This paper addresses the use of ROC analysis to evaluate the speed and accuracy of digital mammography, as compared to conventional film-screen mammography.
متن کاملStatistical methodology: III. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Measures including sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values have been traditionally used to assess a diagnostic test's ability to detect the presence or absence of disease. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis allows visual evaluation of the trade-offs between sensitivity and specificity associated with different values of the test result, or diffe...
