### Meaning of model calibration

A previous post has discussed model discrimination very nicely. The post also briefly discussed calibration: "When evaluating a risk model, calibration is also very important. To examine this, ...

### Correct conditional expectation via logistic regression but terrible AUC

Suppose you have a binary random variable $Y$, and several other random variables $X_1,...,X_p$. Your goal is to "predict $Y$ using $X_1,...,X_p$." So, you go ahead and fit logistic regression, which ...

### Why does pROC roc work with non-probability predictions?

With the pROC package, I can do this: true <- c(1, 1, 1, 0) predicted <- c(0.5, 0.1, 0.6, 0.1) roc(true, predicted) which gives as expected: ...

### Different visualization of AUC than ROC curve

There are multiple interpretations of area under ROC curve. (e.g What does AUC stand for and what is it? ). We also know that AUC is closely related to rank correlation. Are there also different ways ...

### Distributed AUC calculation (or approximation)

I am trying to calculate the ROC AUC for a dataset where I can't fit predictions and labels in memory (10s/100s billions of samples). Is there a way to calculate the AUC in a distributed way or at ...

### How is a ROCAUC=1.0 possible with imperfect accuracy? [duplicate]

I used sklearn to compute roc_auc_score for a dataset of 72 instances. The accuracy was at 97% (2 misclassifications), but the ROC AUC score was 1.0. How is this ...

### How to calculate the prediction score of a classificator?

I want to compare a given classification algorithm with others via the Area under the (ROC-)curve metric. Unfortunately this algorithm only outputs the values of the respective confusion matrix (TP, ...

### How are AUROC scores computed with just two vectors of actual and predicted values as input? [duplicate]

In the R package ModelMetrics, the auc score as shown in the documentation takes only two inputs; aucScore <- auc(actual=actuallabels, predicted=predictedlabels) where the inputs are pretty self ...
