\description{Receiver Operating Characteristic curve of a logistic regression model and a diagnostic table}
\usage{
lroc(logistic.model, graph = TRUE, add = FALSE, title = FALSE, 
    line.col = "red", auc.coords = NULL, grid = TRUE, grid.col = "blue", ...)
roc.from.table(table, graph = TRUE, add = FALSE, title = FALSE, 
	line.col = "red", auc.coords = NULL, grid = TRUE, grid.col = "blue", ...) 
}
\arguments{
	\item{logistic.model}{A model from logistic regression}
	\item{table}{A cross tabulation of the levels of a test (rows) vs a gold standard positive and negative (columns)}
	\item{graph}{Draw ROC curve}
	\item{add}{Whether the line is drawn on the existing ROC curve}
	\item{title}{If true, the model will be displayed as main title}
	\item{line.col}{Color of the line}
	\item{auc.coords}{Coordinates for label of 'auc' (area under curve)}
	\item{grid}{Whether the grid should be drawn}
	\item{grid.col}{Grid colour, if drawn}
	\item{...}{Additional graphic parameters}
}
\details{
'lroc' graphs the ROC curve of a logistic regression model. If `table=TRUE', the diagnostic table based on the regression will be printed out.

'roc.from.table' computes the change of sensitivity and specificity of each cut point and uses these for drawing the ROC curve.

In both cases, the area under the curve is computed.
