proc.ci {tpAUC}

Partial AUC Inference

Description

Infer the area of region under ROC curve with pre-specific FPR constraint (FPR-pAUC). See Yang et al., 2017 for details.

Usage

proc.ci(response, predictor, cp = 0.95, threshold = 0.9, method = "MW")

Arguments

response

a factor, numeric or character vector of responses; typically encoded with 0 (negative) and 1 (positive). Only two classes can be used in a ROC curve. If its levels are not 0/1, the first level will be defaultly regarded as negative.

predictor

a numeric vector of the same length than response, containing the predicted value of each observation. An ordered factor is coerced to a numeric.

cp

numeric; coverage probability of confidence interval.

threshold

numeric; false positive rate (FPR) constraint.

method

methods to estimate FPR-pAUC. MW: Mann-Whitney statistic. expect: method in (2.2) Wang and Chang, 2011. jackknife: jackknife method in Yang et al., 2017.

Details

This function infers FPR partial AUC given response, predictor and pre-specific FPR constraint. MW: Mann-Whitney statistic. method in Yang et al., 2017 adapted from Wang and Chang, 2011. jackknife: jackknife method in Yang et al., 2017.

Value

Confidence interval of FPR partial AUC.
