Abstract: Abstract The total or partial area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve can be estimated for data from any parametric family. If the variables are measured with error, the resulting area estimates will be biased downward. Bias-corrected estimators are found for normal and exponential models, and simulation studies demonstrate that the bias-corrected estimators have MSE comparable to the uncorrected estimators.
