How do you draw a ROC curve?

In this blog, I want to explain how the ROC curve is constructed from scratch in three visual steps.

1. Step 1: Getting classification model predictions.
2. Step 2: Calculate the True Positive Rate and False Positive Rate.
3. Step 3: Plot the the TPR and FPR for every cut-off.

What is ROC curve with example?

For example, a decision tree determines the class of a leaf node from the proportion of instances at the node. The ROC curve shows the trade-off between sensitivity (or TPR) and specificity (1 – FPR). Classifiers that give curves closer to the top-left corner indicate a better performance.

Which is an example of the ROC curve?

Figure 3 illustrates the ROC curve of an example test set of 18 entities (7 actives, 11 decoys) that are shown in Table 1 in the ascending order of their scores. For a small test set, the ROC curve is actually a stepping function: an active entity in Table 1 moves the line upward, while a decoy moves it to the right. Table 1. Example data for ROC

Is the ROC curve a two dimensional graph?

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a two dimensional graph in which the false positive rate is plotted on the X axis and the true positive rate is plotted on the Y axis. The ROC curves are useful to visualize and compare the performance of classifier methods (see Figure 1 ).

When is the threshold of the ROC curve zero?

So the probability of h (X)≥threshold is p which means that the probability of y (i)=1 is also p, and the classifier predicts a positive with a probability of p. When the selection probability is zero, the threshold will be 1 ( TPR=FPR=0) and when it is one, the threshold will be zero ( TPR=FPR=1 ).

Which is the correct ROC curve for perfect discrimination?

A test with perfect discrimination (no overlap in the two distributions) has a ROC curve that passes through the upper left corner (100% sensitivity, 100% specificity). Therefore the closer the ROC curve is to the upper left corner, the higher the overall accuracy of the test (Zweig & Campbell, 1993).
