Boosting the Area under the ROC Curve
We show that any weak ranker that can achieve an area under the ROC curve slightly better than 1/2 (which can be achieved by random guessing) can be efficiently boosted to achieve an area under the ROC curve arbitrarily close to 1. We further show that this boosting can be performed even in the presence of independent misclassification noise, given access to a noise-tolerant weak ranker.

متن کاملScore Fusion by Maximizing the Area under the ROC Curve
Information fusion is currently a very active research topic aimed at improving the performance of biometric systems. This paper proposes a novel method for optimizing the parameters of a score fusion model based on maximizing an index related to the Area Under the ROC Curve. This approach has the convenience that the fusion parameters are learned without having to specify the client and impost...
متن کاملRegression Analysis for the Partial Area under the Roc Curve
Performance evaluation of any classification method is fundamental to its acceptance in practice. Evaluation should consider the dependence of a classifier’s accuracy on relevant covariates in addition to its overall accuracy. When developing a classifier with a continuous output that allocates units into one of two groups, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis is appropriate. ...
متن کاملRisk Estimation by Maximizing the Area under ROC Curve
Risks exist in many different domains; medical diagnoses, financial markets, fraud detection and insurance policies are some examples. Various risk measures and risk estimation systems have hitherto been proposed and this paper suggests a new risk estimation method. Risk estimation by maximizing the area under a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (REMARC) defines risk estimation as ...
