Figure 1. Comparison of different methods by means of AUC values.

Figure 1

Deviation Inline graphic from Inline graphic is given on x-axis, AUC value for distinguishing variables with and without the desired subgroup pattern on y-axis, according to simulation scenario I (mean increase, panel A), scenario II (mean and variance increase, panel B) and scenario III (variance increase, panel B), with group sizes Inline graphic and true subgroup proportion Inline graphic. Plots correspond to Inline graphic, see text for more details. Colors of lines correspond to upper theoretical bound (black, LR) and seven tests and scores (other colors, see legend).
