Hi,

I usually use STATA for my data analysis, but for various reasons, ran one in SPSS first. It gave me a negative cutoff point when my data have no negative values. I re-ran in STATA and got the same AUC, but no negative cutoff, and everything else (CIs, cutoffs) are ever-so-slightly off compared to SPSS.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows why this discrepancy exists.

Thanks!
Danielle

I don't know specifically about ROC, but often such differences are due to differences in parameterization. One program might do 0 versus 1 while another does 1 versus 0. Or, one program adds a constant while another subtracts a cutpoint. If possible, try to compare how the two programs are parameterizing things.
