similar to: use of ROCR package (ROC curve / AUC value) in a specific case versus integral calculation

Packages pROC and ROCR both calculate/approximate the Area Under (Receiver Operator) Curve. However the results are different. I am computing a new variable as a predictor for a label. The new variable is a (non-linear) function of a set of input values, and I'm checking how different parameter settings contribute to prediction. All my settings are predictive, but some are better. The AUC i

Hi, I am quite new to R and I have two questions regarding ROCR. 1. I have tried to understand how to extract area-under-curve value by looking at the ROCR document and googling. Still I am not sure if I am doing the right thing. Here is my code, is "auc1" the auc value? " pred1 <- prediction(resp1,label1) perf1 <- performance(pred1,"tpr","fpr") plot(

Dear R-philes, I am plotting ROC curves for several cross-validation runs of a classifier (using the function below). In addition to the average AUC, I am interested in obtaining a confidence interval for the average AUC. Is there a straightforward way to do this via the ROCR package? plot_roc_curve <- function(roc.dat, plt.title) { #print(str(vowel.ROC)) pred <-

Dear List, I am trying to assess the prediction accuracy of an ordinal model fit with LRM in the Design package. I used predict.lrm to predict on an independent dataset and am now attempting to assess the accuracy of these predictions. >From what I have read, the AUC is good for this because it is threshold independent. I obtained the AUC for the fit model output from the c score (c =

Dear all, I try to compare the performances of several parameters to diagnose lameness in dogs. I have several ROC curves from the same dataset. I plotted the ROC curves and calculated AUC with the ROCR package. I would like to compare the AUC. I used the following program I found on R-help archives : From: Bernardo Rangel Tura Date: Thu 16 Dec 2004 - 07:30:37 EST

Hi, I was lately debugging parts of my 'colAUC' function in caTools package, and in a process looked into other packages for calculating Areas Under ROC Curves (AUC). To my surprise I found at least 6 other functions: * wilcox.test * AUC from ROC package, * performance from ROCR package, * auROC from limma package, * ROC from Epi package, * roc.area from verification

Dear R-helper, I am working with ROCR of Tobias Sing et. al. to compare the performances of logistic and nnet models on a binary response. I had the performance plots, but I have problem finding out other performance statistics (eg. MSE/ASE, AUC). Any help on this? Thanks Ilham [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, there: Could someone tell me a simple function of plot ROC curve and calculate AUC in R? My setting is very simple, a column of the true binary response and another column of predicted probabilities. Thanks! Yulei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I don't really understand how ROCR works. Here's another example with a randomforest model: I have the training dataset(bank_training) and testing dataset(bank_testing) and I ran a randomForest as below: bankrf<-randomForest(y~., bank_training, mtry=4, ntree=2, keep.forest=TRUE,importance=TRUE) bankrf.pred<-predict(bankrf, bank_testing)

Dear R-philes, I am having some trouble averaging across multiple runs of a classifier in an ROC Curve. I am using the ROCR package and the plot() method. First, I initialize a list with two elements where each element is a list of predictions and labels: vowel.ROC <- list(predictions=list(), labels=list()) For every run of the classifier, I append the scores and labels to their

Hallo! Does anybody know a way to calculate the sample size for comparing AUC of ROC curves against 'by chance' with AUC=0.5 (and/or against anothe AUC)? Thanks! Karl

Hi all, does anyone know why the area under the curve (AUC) is negative? I'm using ROC function with a logistic regression, package Epi. First time it happens... Thanks a lot!

I might be missing something but I thought that AUC was a measure for comparing ROC curves, so there is nothing else needed to "compare" them. The larger AUC is the higher correlation of 2 variables compared. No other measures or calculations are needed.

Is there a statistical test implemented within R to compare the area under two ROC curves ?? Thanks, Berthold -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Dear all, I have a probability of presence of distribution of a species of interest (varying from 0 to 1 in continuous form) and I have a set of points where I know that species really occurs. But I don´t have points of absence. So, for each true presence I know the estimated presence. I would like to know how can I compute AUC, taking account these Available data. Best wishes,

Hi, there. Suppose I already have sensitivities and specificities. What is the quick R-function to calculate AUC for the ROC plot? There seem to be many R functions to calculate AUC. Thanks. Yulei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, To indicate probability densities instead of counts on a histogram, I specify freq = FALSE. However, I expect that summing all top y coordinates over all the intervals of the histogram will provide 1. 1) v <- c(0.2885, 0.2988, 0.3139, 0.2615, 0.3179, 0.3163, 0.2583, 0.3052, 0.2527, 0.3147, 0.3235, 0.2408, 0.2480, 0.3108, 0.3577, 0.2829, 0.2694, 0.3275, 0.3314, 0.2639, 0.3076,

I use ROCR to plot multiple runs' performance. Using the sample code as example: # plot ROC curves for several cross-validation runs (dotted # in grey), overlaid by the vertical average curve and boxplots # showing the vertical spread around the average. data(ROCR.xval) pred <- prediction(ROCR.xval$predictions, ROCR.xval$labels) perf <- performance(pred,"tpr","fpr")

Hello Is there an easy way, i.e. a function in a package, to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) for drug serum levels?

Dear list   I have 5 markers that can be used to detect an infection in combination. Could you please advise me how to use functions in ROCR/ other package to produce the ROC curve for a combination of markers?   I have used the following to get ROC statistics for each marker. pred <- prediction(y$marker1, y$infectn) perf <-performance(pred,"tpr","fpr")
