Meta‐analysis of full ROC curves with flexible parametric distributions of diagnostic test values

Diagnostic accuracy studies often evaluate diagnostic tests at several threshold values, aiming to make recommendations on optimal thresholds for use in practice. Methods for meta‐analysis of full receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves have been proposed but still have deficiencies. We recently proposed a parametric approach that is based on bivariate time‐to‐event models for interval‐censored data to this task. To increase the...
