Most currently available ROC analysis software programs have not been updated within the last decade or longer. Due to the age of many of these applications they usually do not include graphical user interfaces. Those applications which have graphical user interfaces are not always compatible with current generation operating systems and technology. Through the use of usability design principles ROC-Estimator was developed to address these current limitations of functioning ROC analysis software.
