Dear yjlee168!
I'm very grateful for your reply!

❝ In order to verify your results as posted, could you please tell me (1) what AUC calculation method you used with bear ('all linear' or 'linear-up/log-down')? (2) what λz values you got with bear (when input 'NA' for the last data point) and with excel? and (3) what λz calculation did you use with non-manual selection of data points? Thanks again.


1). I used linear-up/log-down method (1)
2). When 'NA' is marked for the last point BEAR gets λz in the following form (below I attach all the results for the verification):

And when we leave "0" and choose manual selection (three points):

It seems to me very strange that λz in BEAR are slightly different: 0.16708 and 0.16727. And the question is why the first method (that is calculating with manually selected 3 points) fails.
