R: Calculate figure of merit
FigureOfMeritR Documentation

Calculate figure of merit

Description

Caclulate the figure of merit (an objective measure of observer performance) for each treatment-reader combination.

Usage

FigureOfMerit(dataset, fom = "wJAFROC")

Arguments

dataset

The dataset to be analyzed, see RJafroc-package.

fom

The figure of merit to be used in the calculation. The default is "wJAFROC". See "Details".

Details

Allowed figures of merit are: (1) "Wilcoxon" for ROC data; (2) "JAFROC1", "JAFROC", "wJAFROC1", "wJAFROC" (the default), "HrAuc", "SongA1", "SongA2"** , "HrSe", "HrSp", "MaxLLF", "MaxNLF", "MaxNLFAllCases", "ExpTrnsfmSp", for free-response data and (3) "ROI" for ROI data. The JAFROC FOMs are described in the paper by Chakraborty and Berbaum. The Song FOMs are described in the paper by Song et al. The "MaxLLF", "MaxNLF" and "MaxNLFAllCases" FOMs correspond to ordinate, abscissa and abscissa, respectively, of the highest point on the FROC operating characteristic obtained by counting all the LL marks on diseased, all NL marks on non-diseased cases, and all NL marks on all cases, respectively). The "ExpTrnsfmSp" FOM is described in the paper by Popescu. The "ROI" FOM is described in the paper by Obuchowski et al.

** The Song A2 figure of merit is computationally very intensive.

Value

An c(I, J) array, where the row names are the IDs of the treatments and column names are the IDs of the readers.
