How to Interpret the AUC-ROC Curve?

Interpreting the AUC-ROC curve involves understanding the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity:
- High AUC (>0.8): Indicates a strong ability to distinguish between positive and negative cases.
- Moderate AUC (0.7-0.8): Indicates acceptable discrimination ability.
- **Low AUC (Practical Applications in Epidemiology
In practical epidemiological studies, the AUC-ROC curve is applied in various contexts:
- Disease Screening: Evaluating the performance of screening tests for early detection of diseases like cancer, diabetes, or infectious diseases.
- Predictive Modeling: Assessing models that predict the risk of disease outbreaks or the spread of infectious diseases.
- Genetic Epidemiology: Comparing genetic tests for susceptibility to certain diseases.
