Using the mimetic technique to increase AUC. Some very preliminary ideas

چکیده

The Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) has been recognised as a very robust measure for classification evaluation. Recent efforts have focussed on modifying existing algorithms to improve their AUC or even to use AUC as a search criterion [6]. In this paper, we suggest the possibility that we could improve the AUC of existing models and techniques, without changing the techniques or retraining the models. The idea is based on the mimetic technique, which retrains a classifier using an invented dataset.

Electrochemical Noise Analysis of Anaerobic (Bacterial) Corrosion of Steel

Corrosion of structural steel in an SRB containing environment for as long as 9 months, is studied using the Electrochemical Noise Analysis technique. The results show that the activity of the system, which was very low initially, started to increase after 6 months exposure to the environment. The power spectral density curves of the Electrochemical Potential Noise of the system, using the maxi...

Detection of breast cancer using non-invasive X-ray diffraction technique of hair: A preliminary study

Background: An early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. Early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of Wide Angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...

Increasing the accuracy of the classification of diabetic patients in terms of functional limitation using linear and nonlinear combinations of biomarkers: Ramp AUC method

The Area under the ROC Curve (AUC) is a common index for evaluating the ability of the biomarkers for classification. In practice, a single biomarker has limited classification ability, so to improve the classification performance, we are interested in combining biomarkers linearly and nonlinearly. In this study, while introducing various types of loss functions, the Ramp AUC method and some of...
