ROC Curves for Steganalysts
نویسنده
چکیده
There are different approaches in the literature for the assessment of steganographic algorithms and steganalytic attacks. In the early papers it was considered sufficient to show the existence of an effect for one or a few examples only. The more the area of steganography evolved, the more diverse became the goals and the harder to measure the improvements. Many branches of science are facing the same problem. More and more elaborate methods are used for assessment. We discuss aspects of the analysis of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) from a steganographer’s point of view. ROC curves permit a reliable assessment of steganalytic detectors, independent of their decision threshold.

ROC curves and nonrandom data ∗ Jonathan Aaron
This paper shows that when a classifier is evaluated with nonrandom test data, ROC curves differ from the ROC curves that would be obtained with a random sample. To address this bias, this paper introduces a procedure for plotting ROC curves that are inferred from nonrandom test data. I provide simulations and an example with wine data to illustrate the procedure as well as the magnitude of bia...
متن کاملSemiparametric Inferential Procedures for Comparing Multivariate Roc Curves with Interaction Terms
Multivariate ROC curve models that include an interaction term between biomarker type and false positive rate are important in comparative biomarker studies, because such interaction allows ROC curves of different biomarkers to cross each other. However, there has been limited work in drawing inference for comparing multivariate ROC curves, especially when interaction terms are present. In this...
متن کاملPRROC: computing and visualizing precision-recall and receiver operating characteristic curves in R
Precision-recall (PR) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are valuable measures of classifier performance. Here, we present the R-package PRROC, which allows for computing and visualizing both PR and ROC curves. In contrast to available R-packages, PRROC allows for computing PR and ROC curves and areas under these curves for soft-labeled data using a continuous interpolation betw...
متن کاملEstimation and Comparison of Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves.
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve displays the capacity of a marker or diagnostic test to discriminate between two groups of subjects, cases versus controls. We present a comprehensive suite of Stata commands for performing ROC analysis. Non-parametric, semiparametric and parametric estimators are calculated. Comparisons between curves are based on the area or partial area under...
متن کاملMixtures of receiver operating characteristic curves.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are ubiquitous in the analysis of imaging metrics as markers of both diagnosis and prognosis. While empirical estimation of ROC curves remains the most popular method, there are several reasons to consider smooth estimates based on a parametric model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mixture model is considered for modeling the di...
