Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We study properties of the area under the ROC curve, which is one of measures to evaluate performance of a binary classifier constructed on the basis of a ranking function.
We prove that the likelihood ratio is the optimal ranking function in the sense that it maximizes AUC when the probability distributions of the two classes are assumed to be known.
We then study asymptotic properties of AUC via the likelihood ratio based ranking function by using maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters, and numerical experiments are performed to confirm the asymptotic properties. We apply nonparametric estimation methods to the estimation of the likelihood ratio and perform numerical experiments to compare the asymptotic convergence rate with that via maximum likelihood estimation.
