rocLoss: The loss function to maximize area under the ROC curve

Description

The loss function to maximize area under the ROC curve

Usage

rocLoss(w, x, y, cache = NULL)

Arguments

w
weight vector where the function have to be evaluated
x
matrix of training instances (one instance by row)
y
numeric vector of values in (-1,+1) representing the training labels for each instance in x
cache
if NULL (which is the case at the first call) parameters values are checked

Value

  • a 2 element list (value,gradient) where "value" is the value of the function at point w, and "gradient" is the gradient of the loss function at w
