this review provides the basic principle and rational for roc analysis of rating and continuous diagnostic test results versus a gold standard. derived indexes of accuracy, in particular area under the curve (auc) has a meaningful interpretation for disease classification from healthy subjects. the methods of estimate of auc and its testing in single diagnostic test and also comparative studies...

Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is a widely used ranking metric in imbalanced learning due to its insensitivity label distributions. As well-known multiclass extension of AUC, Multiclass AUC (MAUC, a.k.a. M-metric) measures average multiple binary classifiers. In this paper, we argue that simply optimizing MAUC far from enough for multi-classification. More precisely, only focuses on scoring fun...

background: the superiority of either of body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc), waist-to-hip ratio (whr) and waist-to-height ratio (whtr) for prediction of metabolic syndrome (mets) is remained controversial in asian population. the objective of this study was to compare the discriminative capacity of either of these measures in prediction of non-adipose components of mets. methods: i...
