add_tpauc_concave_lower_bound: Add TpAUC lower bound to a ROC plot

Description

Calculate and plot lower bound defined by TpAUC specificity index.

• add_tpauc_lower_bound() provides a upper level function which automatically calculates curve shape and plots a lower bound that better fits it.

Additionally, several lower level functions are provided to plot specific lower bounds:

• add_tpauc_concave_lower_bound(). Plot lower bound corresponding to a ROC curve with concave shape in selected region.

• add_tpauc_partially_proper_lower_bound. Plot lower bound corresponding to a ROC curve with partially proper (presence of some hook) in selected region.

• add_tpauc_under_chance_lower_bound. Plot lower bound corresponding to a ROC curve with a hook under chance line in selected region.

Usage

add_tpauc_concave_lower_bound(
  data,
  response = NULL,
  predictor = NULL,
  lower_threshold,
  upper_threshold,
  .condition = NULL,
  .label = NULL
)
add_tpauc_partially_proper_lower_bound(
  data,
  response = NULL,
  predictor = NULL,
  lower_threshold,
  upper_threshold,
  .condition = NULL,
  .label = NULL
)
add_tpauc_under_chance_lower_bound(
  data,
  response = NULL,
  predictor = NULL,
  lower_threshold,
  upper_threshold,
  .condition = NULL,
  .label = NULL
)
add_tpauc_lower_bound(
  data,
  response = NULL,
  predictor = NULL,
  lower_threshold,
  upper_threshold,
  .condition = NULL,
  .label = NULL
)

Value

A ggplot layer instance object.

Arguments

data

A data.frame or extension (e.g. a tibble) containing values for predictors and response variables.

response

A data variable which must be a factor, integer or character vector representing the prediction outcome on each observation (Gold Standard).

If the variable presents more than two possible outcomes, classes or categories:

• The outcome of interest (the one to be predicted) will remain distinct.

• All other categories will be combined into a single category.

New combined category represents the "absence" of the condition to predict. See .condition for more information.

predictor

A data variable which must be numeric, representing values of a classifier or predictor for each observation.

lower_threshold, upper_threshold

Two numbers between 0 and 1, inclusive. These numbers represent lower and upper values of FPR region where to calculate and plot lower bound.

.condition

A value from response that represents class, category or condition of interest which wants to be predicted.

If NULL, condition of interest will be selected automatically depending on response type.

Once the class of interest is selected, rest of them will be collapsed in a common category, representing the "absence" of the condition to be predicted.

See vignette("selecting-condition") for further information on how automatic selection is performed and details on selecting the condition of interest.

.label

A string representing the name used in labels.

If NULL, variable name from predictor will be used as label.

Examples

plot_roc_curve(iris, response = Species, predictor = Sepal.Width) +
  add_tpauc_lower_bound(
    data = iris,
    response = Species,
    predictor = Sepal.Width,
    upper_threshold =  0.1,
    lower_threshold = 0
  )
