Empirical Bayes Combination of Estimated Areas under ROC Curves Using Estimating Equations

Author

  • Xiao H. Zhou

Abstract

A synthesis of the empirical Bayes method and the method of estimating equations is used to combine individual receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area estimates from different studies of the same diagnostic test into a single estimate. This single estimate represents the population mean from which individual areas under the ROC curves were sampled. The only data needed to carry out the method are estimated areas under the ROC curves and the corresponding standard errors. Key words: ROC curves; empirical Bayes method.
