Preferred term

receiver operating characteristic curve  

Definition(s)

  • In practice, the outcomes of diagnostic tests are mostly interpreted and operationalized as binary—that is, as positive or negative—for the presence of a target condition. However, the actual outcome of a test is rarely a binary one. [Source: Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making; Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve]
