[edit] AUC (ROC)

What about at least a link to another common use as the area under the Receiver_Operating_Characteristic curve? Uncoolbob 16:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The article gives AUC an entirely pharmacokinetic focus, which is not the case at all. AUC is general purpose can be used for any statistical model. The article also says that AUC in pharmacokinetics goes from 0 up to infinity, although AUC as I understand it is between and including 0 and 1. --Amit 02:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
