Confidence intervals for area under the receiver operating curve (AUC)

Functions for estimating receiver operating curves (ROC) and the area under the ROC curve (AUC), and various methods for estimating parametric and non-parametric confidence intervals for the AUC estimates. Also included is code for a simple bootstrap test for the estimated area under the ROC against a known value. The available CI estimation methods are:
> Hanley-McNeil, parametric [1]
> Mann-Whitney, non-parametric [2]
> Maximum variance, non-parametric [3]
> Logit, non-parametric [2]
> Bootstrap, non-parametric [2]
You can pass arguments through for different bootstrapping options, otherwise the default is a simple percentile bootstrap. This software depends on several functions from the Matlab Statistics toolbox, namely norminv, tiedrank and bootci.

Example:
s = randn(50,1) + 1; n = randn(50,1); % simulate binormal model, "signal" and "noise"
% Estimate the AUC and calculate bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals (bias-corrected and accelerated)
[A,Aci] = auc(format_by_class(s,n),0.05,'boot',1000,'type','bca');
