Osman,
Because tests for differences in two ROC areas are not very powerful,
rcorrp.cens changes the hypothesis to "are predictions from one method
more concordant with the outcome than predictions from the other method,
within paired predictions". You can't get a difference in ROC areas
from the U-statistic computed by rcorrp.cens.
