AUC.test: AUC-Test

Description

Performs tests for one and two AUCs.

Usage

AUC.test(pred1, lab1, pred2, lab2, conf.level = 0.95, paired = FALSE)

Value

A list with AUC, SE and confidence interval as well as the corresponding test result.

Arguments

pred1

numeric vector.

lab1

grouping vector or factor for pred1.

pred2

numeric vector.

lab2

grouping vector or factor for pred2.

conf.level

confidence level of the interval.

paired

not yet implemented.

Author

Details

If pred2 and lab2 are missing, the AUC for pred1 and lab1 is tested using the Wilcoxon signed rank test; see wilcox.test.

If pred1 and lab1 as well as pred2 and lab2 are specified, the Hanley and McNeil test (cf. Hanley and McNeil (1982)) is computed.
