InformationValue (version 1.2.3)

AUROC: AUROC

Description

Calculate the area uder ROC curve statistic for a given logit model.

Usage

AUROC(actuals, predictedScores)

Arguments

actuals
The actual binary flags for the response variable. It can take a numeric vector containing values of either 1 or 0, where 1 represents the 'Good' or 'Events' while 0 represents 'Bad' or 'Non-Events'.
predictedScores
The prediction probability scores for each observation. If your classification model gives the 1/0 predcitions, convert it to a numeric vector of 1's and 0's.

Value

The area under the ROC curve for a given logit model.

Details

For a given actuals and predicted probability scores, the area under the ROC curve shows how well the model performs at capturing the false events and false non-events. An best case model will have an area of 1. However that would be unrealistic, so the closer the aROC to 1, the better is the model.

Examples

Run this code
data('ActualsAndScores')
AUROC(actuals=ActualsAndScores$Actuals, predictedScores=ActualsAndScores$PredictedScores)
