A receiver operating characteristic curve, or ROC curve, is a graphical plot that illustrates the performance of a binary classifier model (can be used for multi class classification as well) at varying threshold values. The ROC curve is the plot of the true positive rate (TPR) against the false positive rate (FPR) at each threshold setting.
An image of different ROC curves is shown in Figure 1. ROC curves provide a simple visual method for one to determine the boundary limit (or the separation threshold) of a biomarker or a combination of biomarkers for the optimal combination of sensitivity and specificity. The AUC (area under the curve) of the ROC curve reflects the overall ...
An example of ROC curve and the area under the curve (AUC). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) [1] [2] is often used to summarize in a single number the diagnostic ability of the classifier. The AUC is simply defined as the area of the ROC space that lies below the ROC curve. However, in the ROC space there are regions where the values of FPR ...
Procedures for method evaluation and method comparison include ROC curve analysis, [6] Bland–Altman plot, [7] as well as Deming and Passing–Bablok regression. [ 8 ] The software also includes reference interval estimation, [ 9 ] meta-analysis and sample size calculations.
At any given point in the ROC curve, it is possible to glean values for the ratios of false alarms/(false alarms+correct rejections) and hits/(hits+misses). For example, at threshold 74, it is evident that the x coordinate is 0.2 and the y coordinate is 0.3.
The output is called a CAP curve. [1] The CAP is distinct from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which plots the true-positive rate against the false-positive rate. CAPs are used in robustness evaluations of classification models.
The x- and y-axes are scaled non-linearly by their standard normal deviates (or just by logarithmic transformation), yielding tradeoff curves that are more linear than ROC curves, and use most of the image area to highlight the differences of importance in the critical operating region.
