Re: st: ROC-curves

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

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
