There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

For measuring the accuracy of a continuous diagnostic test, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is often used. Recently kernel smoothing estimator with two bandwidths for the ROC curve was showed to be better than empirical estimator. In this paper we propose another type of kernel
smoothing estimators which involves only one bandwidth and does not have boundary effect. Moreover, empirical likelihood based confidence interval is obtained.
