An R package, "WLpAUC", was developed for estimating the summary measures of receiver operating
characteristic (ROC) curves and their standard errors. It also provides a statistic of weighted log partial area under the curve. These functions are targeted at the use of high dimensional data analysis. The trial version of WLpAUC can be downloaded from here.
