Emne: Re: st: ROC-curves

To get the area under the curve with confidence limits, use the
-somersd- package, which you can download from SSC. To estimate the AUC
instead of Somers' D (the default), use the option -transf(c)-.

And, to get confidence intervals for the sensitivity at a given
false-positive rate, use the -roccurve- package (Pepe et al., 2009;
Janes et al., 2009), which you can download from the Stata Journal
website.by typing, in Stata,

findit roccurve

and installing the latest version of the package.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger
