title: Permutation test for non-inferiority of the linear to the optimal combination of multiple tests.
abstract: We proposed a permutation test for non-inferiority of the linear discriminant function to the optimal combination of multiple tests based on Mann-Whitney statistic estimate of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Monte Carlo simulations showed its good performance.
