Smooth ROC curve estimation via Bernstein polynomials.

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is commonly used to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnostic test for classifying observations into two groups.We propose two novel tuning parameters for estimating the ROC curve via Bernstein polynomial smoothing of the empirical ROC curve.The new estimator is very easy to implement with the naturally
