Hi Sankar,
you can use ListIntegrate[] to get your AUC. As well you could use an
InterpolatingFunction[] object and then use NIntegrate[].
Note that the result depends on the way of interpolation. Using first ord=
er
interpolation (straight lines between adjacent points) you would have to
calculate the sum of the areas of n-1 trapezoids (what is trivial).
If you should like to connect your points using a function like a
stair-case, your problem reduces to calculating the mean of your yi and
multiply it with your x-range (if equally spaced).
You could also fit a suitable model to your data first and then use
Integrate[] on your model.
"The Mathematica Journal" Volume 7, Issue 1 (Winter 1997) pp. 29 gives an=
example of this and shows how to estimate the error of the calculated AUC=
(given in the "In[] and Out[]" section - you might already get it on
MathSource).
Greetings,
Peter

I am new to Mathematica and would really appreciate some pointers from
experienced users. I have a 2 variable data set of about 50
observations. I want to plot each obseravtion and calculate the area
under the curve. How do I do this in Mathematica ?
Are there examples in the Mathematica Book and/or are there separate
application notes etc. available ?
Thanks.
Sankar.
