Diagnosing Diagnoses: Receiver Operating Characteristic Methods and Psychiatry
Abstract
With every issue of theArchives, the reader is inundated with psychiatric research: new treatments, new biological abnormalities, new diagnostic methods, new diagnoses—the list seems endless. It is difficult to conceive of anyone, except, of course, our dedicated Editor, who bothers to read every article in every issue. Indeed, it would be a rare individual who had the time to read every abstract. In the current issue of theArchives, Mossman and Somoza1reexamine the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) using a statistical method that is new to psychiatry, namely, receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Using this method, they are able to demonstrate that there is significant variability in the performance of the DST among different psychiatric centers. As with any statistical method, ROC involves more than a little mathematics, and the natural question as one leafs through theSee also p 653.Archivesis "Why should I bother with this?"

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
