Consider the ROC surface which is a generalization of the ROC curve for three-class diagnostic problems. In this work, we propose ve criteria for the three-class ROC surface by extending the Youden index, the sum of sensitivity and specificity, the maximum vertical distance, the amended closest-to-(0,1) and the true rate. It may be concluded that these five criteria can be expressed as a function of two Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics. A paired optimal thresholds could be obtained simultaneously from the ROC surface. It is found that the paired optimal thresholds selected from the ROC surface are equivalent to the two optimal thresholds found from the two ROC curves.
