Hi Brian, Your underlying dataset for the ROC curve only has 4 unique values for specificity, even though there are 23 elements in the vector, hence the step function nature of the first plot. The default smoothing in the smooth() function is "binormal". You might try one of the other smoothing options to see the result and whether they make visual sense. In the absence of smoothing,
