  3. … WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM ROC CURVES LIKE THESE? Bonsu, B. K. and M. B. Harper (2003). "Utility of the peripheral blood white blood cell count for identifying sick young infants who need lumbar puncture." Ann Emerg Med41(2): 206-14.

  4. “Walking Man” Approach to ROC Curves • Divide vertical axis into d steps, where d is the number of D+ individuals • Divide horizontal axis into n steps, where n is the number of D- individuals • Sort individuals from most to least abnormal test result • Moving from the first individual (with the most abnormal test result) to the last (with the least abnormal test result)…

  5. “Walking Man” (continued) • …call out “D” if the individual is D+ and “N” if the individual is D- • Let the walking man know when you reach a new value of the test • The walking man takes a step up every time he hears “D” and a step to the right every time he hears “N” • When you reach a new value of the test, he drops a stone.
