The ROC area is a special case of Harrell's c index, which still exists
for non-binary ordinal outcomes. Confidence intervals for Harrell' c
indices and their differences can be calculated using the -somersd-
package, downloadable from SSC using the -ssc- command in Stata. The
on-line help contains some references, some of which can be downloaded
from the Stata Journal website at
http://www.stata-journal.com/
and others of which can be downloaded from my website (see my signature
below).

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Subject: st: ROC curves for ordinal outcomes

Hi,
  I'm trying to compare 3 screening tests. My out come variable is not
binary. My outcome variable is ordinal 
with 8 categories. Is there a way in STATA to produce a ROC curve to
compare these tests for ordinal outcomes?

Or is it possible to do a ordinal regression and show the results as ROC
curves? 

I would really appreciate your reply.

Thanks
VJ
