Excerpt

Assessment of diagnostic and prognostic scores is an important public health issue, and is needed to validate the performance of scores, to find out which of several scores does best, or to assess whether a given score improves after inclusion of additional variables. To make this decision, areas under the receiver operating curves (AROCs), sometimes called c-values, are widely used. …
