A graph showing the relationship between two variable but interdependent quantities.
Example sentencesExamples
- Data were pooled to produce summary receiver operating characteristic curves and summary likelihood ratios for positive and negative test results.
- Sensitivity and specificity for the predictors were calculated, and receiver operator characteristic curves constructed.
- Receiver operator characteristic curves are in common use in laboratories.
- Diagnostic accuracy in this context has sometimes been defined with receiver operating characteristic curves and quantified by the area under the curve.
- If you plot a characteristic curve of the step wedges you will find quite simply that long wavelength light gives a greater gamma than light of short wavelength.
