Abstract

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is one of the most active research areas in medical statistics. While classic ROC curve analysis is a well-established method to study the accuracies of clinical markers, it may be suboptimal for analyzing outcomes over time, such as prognosis. When the outcome variable of interest is an event that occurs not concurrent with the tests, time-dependent ROC curves should be used to accommodate this time lag.
