DictionarySeecurveROC curve
re·ceiv·er op·er·at·ing char·ac·ter·is·tic curve1. a plot of percentage of true positive results versus percentage of false positive results, usually in a trial of a diagnostic test. 2. a graphic means of assessing the ability of a screening test to discriminate between healthy and diseased people. Synonym(s): ROC curveROC curve Receiver operating characteristic curve. A graphic depiction of the relationship between the true positive ratio (sensitivity) and false positive ratio (1) specificity as a function of the cut-off level of a disease or condition marker.curve (kurv) [L. curvus, bent, crooked] A bend, chart, or graph.bell curveNormal distribution.curve of Carus See: curve of Caruscharacteristic curveSensitometric curve.dental curveCurve of Spee.D log E curveSensitometric curve.dose response curveA graph charting the effect of a specific dose of drug, chemical, or ionizing radiation.dye-dilution curveA graph of the disappearance rate of a known amount of injected dye from the circulation; used to measure cardiac function. epidemic curveA chart or graph in which the number of new cases of an illness is plotted over time.Gaussian curveNormal distribution.growth curveA graph of heights and weights, head circumference, and body mass index of infants and children of various ages. A line connecting the data points produces the curve. Usually the changes in height and weight are shown on the same chart. Growth charts are specific for age and gender. learning curveThe effect of learning or practice on the performance of an intellectual or physical task. The term describes the acquisition of competence with experience, time, and training. normal curveNormal distribution.receiver operating curve Abbreviation: ROC curve A plot of the fraction of true positives test results versus the fraction of false positive test results; the sensitivity of a test versus (1-the test specificity). Synonym: receiver operating characteristicsensitometric curveIn radiographic film analysis, the curve derived by graphing the exposure to the film versus the film density. Analysis yields information about the contrast, speed, latitude, and maximum and minimum densities of the film or film-screen system. Digital radiography systems exhibit linear curves. Synonym: characteristic curve; D log E curve; Hurter and Driffield curvecurve of Spee See: curve of SpeeStephan curve See: Stephan curvesurvival curveIn radiobiology, a dose response curve. time-temperature cooling curveThe mathematical relation that plots the physical and chemical behaviors of dental (and other) materials as their temperature decreases over time.
