Area Under the Curve

Note: The Venkatraman method of assessing differences between ROC curves tests the difference at every operating point, which enables it to determine if one scale performs better than another, even if their overall AUCs are similar (Venkatraman, 2000). This can result in statistically significant differences between two scales, though the confidence intervals for the AUCs overlap.
