A comparison of the empirical (solid line) and parametric (dot-dashed line) receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves drawn from the same data. In contrast to the empirical ROC curve, an inappropriate parametric ROC curve can be distorted or pass through the 45° diagonal line if the data are not normally distributed or heteroscedastic. In this case, the empirical method is recommended to overcome this problem.
