AUC-ROC

AUC-ROC

Area under the ROC curve. Measures the ability of a model to distinguish between classes by plotting the true positive rate (recall) against the false positive rate (FPR) at various thresholds (imbalanced datasets).

Assesses model’s ability to distinguish between classes.

  • Range: Between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates perfect #ml/classification and 0.5 suggests no discriminative power (equivalent to random guessing).

#Advantages

  • Robust to class imbalance
  • provides a comprehensive view of performance across all classification thresholds.
