Spanish term or phrase: empate(s)
The section of the document is entitled:
Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in individual milk samples

The paragraph introducing the graph states:
Figure 4 shows the ROC curve and the table below shows a summary of the parameters of the curve obtained. Likewise, in the case of individual milk samples, the AUC value is indicative of a high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.980, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.967-0.993).

Above the graph is the heading:
ROC curve

The left hand side of the graph is a measurement of sensitivity
Below the graph are the specificity measurements

Than under all of that it states:
"Los segmentos diagonales son producidos por los *empates*."

My question is what is the translation of *empates* in the context of a graph?

like-tie


Explanation:
Tied data is an important concern in ROC analysis. A. "like-tie'' exists when two events in the same class (0 or. 1) have the same test value.
