Abstract
In this paper, we propose a semi-parametric maximum likelihood estimate of an ROC curve that satisfies the property of invariance of the ROC curve. In our simulation studies, we demonstrate that the proposed estimator has the best performance among all the existing semi-parametric estimators considered here. Finally, we illustrate the application of the proposed estimator using a real data set.
