From the result of the analysis, it was revealed that OS was the best technique followed by COPA, t, ORT, TORT and Z respectively in terms of their P-values. The result of the False Discovery Rate (FDR) shows that OS is the best technique followed by COPA, t, ORT, TORT and Z. In terms of their ROC curves, t-Statistic and OS have the largest Area under the ROC Curve (AUC) which indicates better sensitivity and specificity and is more significant followed by COPA and ORT with the equal significant AUC while Z and TORT have the least AUC which is not significant.展开更多
