Hi Yujie,
there is still a lot of work in progress, I think. As
http://faculty.washington.edu/heagerty/Software/SurvROC/RisksetROC/risksetROCdiscuss.pdf
states: "[...] for inference and variance estimation, we now suggest
bootstrapping [...]".
Recently I catched a glimpse on roc.test from the pROC package, they
implemented, amongst others, a bootstrap algorithm - maybe this is a
start for your own work?
