Estimation of the area under the ROC curve.
The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is frequently used as a measure for the effectiveness of diagnostic markers. In this paper we discuss and compare estimation procedures for this area. These are based on (i) the Mann-Whitney statistic; (ii) kernel smoothing; (iii) normal assumptions; (iv) empirical transformations to normality. These are compared in terms of bias and ro...
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 ...
متن کاملBoosting 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 کاملLearning Decision Trees Using the Area Under the ROC Curve
ROC analysis is increasingly being recognised as an important tool for evaluation and comparison of classifiers when the operating characteristics (i.e. class distribution and cost parameters) are not known at training time. Usually, each classifier is characterised by its estimated true and false positive rates and is represented by a single point in the ROC diagram. In this paper, we show how...
متن کاملOptimizing Area Under the ROC Curve using Ranking SVMs
Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC), often used for comparing classifiers, is a widely accepted performance measure for ranking instances. Many researches have studied optimization of AUC, usually via optimizing some approximation of a ranking function. Ranking SVMs are among the better performers but their usage in the literature is typically limited to learning a total ranking from partial ranking...
