Receiver operating-characteristic (ROC) curve is a popular graphical method frequently used in order to study the diagnostic capacity of continuous (bio)markers. When the considered outcome is a time-dependent variable, the direct generalization is known as cumulative/dynamic ROC curve. For a fixed...
