Currently, assessing superiority of a diagnostic test requires cumbersome calculations and confusing interpretations because of nonlinear Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC). To remedy these difficulties, this article prepares, provides an easier alternate geometric approach. That is, a simple but more effective visual approach with two complementary mosaic masonries are constructed with their properties, superimposed and utilized. First masonry is conditional on disease status. The second masonry is conditional on test outcomes. By superimposing both masonries and visualizing their overlap territory, our approach utilizes an angle, θ to assess superiority of a diagnostic test. A hypothesis testing procedure is also devised to compute the significance level of an estimated angle. The statistical power to accept a true angle is developed in the procedure. In the end, the concepts, properties and advantages of mosaic masonries are illustrated using medical and public health data sets.

“…Indeed, the criteria proposed by Fajans and Conn (1) did not use a fasting glucose criterion but relied on 60-, 90-, and 120-min post-glucose load values and recommended a 120-min cut point of 140 mg/dl. In 1964, the U.S. Public Health Service criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes included a fasting glucose of 125 mg/dl and a 2-h value of 140 mg/dl (11).…”

“…These were all identified by blood pressure, EKG, urinalysis, urine culture, and random glucose. A second group consisted of those who admitted to excessive alcohol ingestion and who were found on screening to have either alcoholic liver disease (5) or folic acid deficiency anemia (1). Serum SGOT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, protein, BUN, and the microhematocrit were needed in these cases.…”
