Returns the ROC, AFROC and wAFROC AUCs corresponding to specified RSM parameters. See also UtilAucPROPROC, UtilAucBIN and UtilAucCBM

UtilAnalyticalAucsRSM(mu, lambda, nu, zeta1 = -Inf, lesDistr, relWeights = 0)

Arguments

mu

The mean of the Gaussian distribution for the ratings of latent LLs (continuous ratings of lesions that are found by the search mechanism). The NLs are assumed to be distributed as N(0,1).

lambda

The RSM lambda parameter.

nu

The RSM nu parameters.

zeta1

The lowest reporting threshold, the default is -Inf.

lesDistr

The lesion distribution 1D array, i.e., the probability mass function (pmf) of the numbers of lesions for diseased cases.

relWeights

The relative weights of the lesions; a vector of length maxLL; if zero, the default, equal weights are assumed.

Value

The ROC, AFROC and wAFROC AUCs corresponding to the specified parameters

Examples

mu <- 1;lambda <- 1;nu <- 0.9
lesDistr <- c(0.9, 0.1) 
## i.e., 90% of dis. cases have one lesion, and 10% have two lesions
relWeights <- c(0.05, 0.95)
## i.e., lesion 1 has weight 5 percent while lesion two has weight 95 percent
