报告内容简介：
Recently, Wang and Qin (2013) proposed various
bias-corrected empirical likelihood confidence regions for any two of the three
parameters,sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off value, with the remaining
parameter fixed at a given value in the evaluation of a continuous-scale diagnostic
test with verification bias. In order to apply those methods, quantiles of the
limiting weighted chi-squared distributions of the empirical log-likelihood
ratio statistics should be estimated. In order to facilitate application and
reduce computation burden, in this paper, jackknife empirical likelihood-based
methods are proposed for any pairs of sensitivity, specificity and cut-off
value, and asymptotic results can be derived accordingly. The proposed methods can
be easily implemented to construct confidence regions for the evaluation of
continuous-scale diagnostic tests with verification bias. Simulation studies
are conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance and robustness of the
proposed jackknife empirical likelihood-based confidence regions in terms of
coverage probabilities. Finally, a real example is provided to illustrate the
application of new methods.
