TABLE 2.

Estimate, bias, variance, median of estimated variance (Med(Var^)) and coverage of 95% confidence interval (CI) of AUC and pAUC (t0, t1) estimators using the empirical method, IPW method with the estimated sampling probabilities p^Str and p^Aux, for scenarios where ρXV* = 0.5, ρXW = 0.5, ρWV* = 0.1, μX = 0, and μXD = 1 in finite-population stratified sampling.
