Semiparametric inference for a quantile comparison function with applications to receiver operating characteristic curves
分位数比较函数的半参数推断及其在受试者工作特征曲线中的应用
In studies to compare two samples, more information may be available on one treatment than the other. When one population is modelled parametrically and the other nonparmetrically, we study large sample properties of a semiparametric sample quantile comparison function and show that it can have substantially smaller asymptotic variance than its nonparametric counterpart, especially near the boundaries. We describe applications to both two-sample tests and receiver operating…
