AUDPC
AUDPC stands for Area Under the Disease Progress Curve. It is a quantitative measure used in plant pathology to summarize the overall intensity of a disease in a population over a specified period. The metric integrates disease severity across multiple time points, providing a single value that reflects both the severity and the duration of the epidemic.
Calculation is typically done with disease severity scores collected at known times. If y_i represents the
Variants and related metrics include relative AUDPC (rAUDPC) or standardized AUDPC, which divide by the maximum
Applications of AUDPC include comparing disease pressure among cultivars, treatments, locations, or years, and assessing the
Limitations of AUDPC include its sensitivity to the timing and frequency of observations and the scoring scale,
