Re: st: calculation of area under curve with stata

[Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez <jorge_perez@brown.edu>]

I just read Paul Seed's clarification of your question and it seems
that you want an area under a ROC curve, completely unrelated to what
I did. I guess I should have read the clarification before answering.

But in any case, this shows that when you post to Statalist you should
keep in mind that your posts are going to be read by Stata users
outside of your field who do not understand the jargon.
