Nonparametric local estimation of the partial area under the receiver operating characteristic curve

Music City Center 

We consider estimation of the receiver operating characteristic curve and the ordinal dominance curve. The nonparametric estimation is based on delta-sequences. We also consider estimation of the partial area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and the ordinal dominance curve. This is obtained by local estimation of the delta-sequences. We characterize feasible statistics induced by central limit theory for the estimation procedure. A numerical simulation corroborates the asymptotic theory.
