We have derived this theoretical functional relationship between B and AZ, by using the parameter a and b in the binormal ROC model and the prior probability of signal events (α); here, the two underlying normal distributions are N(μs ,σs) and N(μn,σn); and, a = (μs - μn)/σs and b = σn/σs . We empirically found that, if parameters b and α are constant, B values in relation to given AZ values monotonically decrease as AZ values increase, and these relationship curves have monotonically decreasing slopes.}, pages = {187--194}, title = {Relationship between Brier score and area under the binormal ROC curve}, volume = {67}, year = {2002} }
