Sensitivity specificity LR

[antor82]

Hi all

is there a macro/code that mimics in SAS what pROC and bootLR do in R?

my aim is to calculate bootstrap threshold, sensitivity, specificity, LT+ and LR- along with 95% CI

Tks!

What do pROC and bootLR do?

[antor82]

bootLR Computes the (positive/negative) likelihood ratio with appropriate, bootstrapped confidence intervals

pROC computes threshold sensitivity and specificity for a given value with appropriate, bootstrapped confidence intervals

[PaigeMiller]

Normally, a likelihood ratio is computed to test to see if a statistic is significantly different than some quantity ... what statistic is being tested, and in what context?

Normally, bootstrap confidence intervals are computed to see some measure of variability of a particular statistic ... what statistic is being tested, and in what context?

I’m testing if a new parameter is predictive of an outcome.
My sample size is small (60 patients).
Other authors did the same and provided AUC, cut-off (with corresponding sensibility, specificity, LR+ and -) calculated after bootstrapping

Some sort of regression??? A decision tree??? A Neural Network??? What is the exact type of model?

Logistic regression?? Decision tree?? Neural Network?? Other???

Logistic regression
