MedCalc is a statistical software package for the biomedical sciences. It has an integrated spreadsheet for data entry and can import files in various formats (Excel, SPSS, CSV, ...).
MedCalc includes basic parametric and nonparametric statistical methods and diagrams such as descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon test, χ2 test, correlation, linear and nonlinear regression, logistic regression, etc.
The survival analysis includes the Cox regression (proportional hazards model) and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
The methods for method evaluation and method comparison include the ROC curve analysis, the Bland-Altman representation as well as the Deming and Passing-Bablok regression.
The software also includes meta-analyzes and sample size calculations.

Statistical features
ROC curve analysis
- Area under the curve (AUC) with standard error, 95% confidence interval, P-value. Offers choice between methodology of DeLong et al. (1988) and Hanley & McNeil (1982, 1983).
- List of sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and positive and negative predictive values for all possible threshold values.
- ROC curve graph with 95% Confidence Bounds.
- Threshold values can be selected in an interactive dot diagram with automatic calculation of corresponding sensitivity and specificity.
- Plot of sensitivity and specificity, or cost, versus criterion values.
- Plot of predictive values versus prevalence.
- Interval likelihood ratios.
- Comparison of up to 6 ROC curves: difference between the areas under the ROC curves, with standard error, 95% confidence interval and P-value.
- Sample size calculation for area under ROC curve and comparison of ROC curves.
- Go to the ROC curve analysis section of the MedCalc manual for more information on ROC curve analysis in MedCalc.
