I am doing a simulation with a relatively large data set (20,000 observations) for which I want to calculate the area under the Receiver Operator Curve (AUC) for many parameter combinations. I am using the ROC library and the following commands to generate each AUC: rocobj=rocdemo.sca(truth = ymis, data = model$fitted.values, rule = dxrule.sca) #generation of observed ROC object

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

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.

Question on graphs: The default case for drawing a graph in R, is where a little space is left on the x and y axis before the first tick i.e. even if I say xlim=c(0,1) -- there will be some space between the edge of the x-axis and where 0 is placed. If I want 0 on the edge, how do I do it in R? Area under the curve: I have a 45 degree line and a curve above or below it. Is there a way in R

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!

Hi I try to plot a ROC curve, using the ROC library from bioonductor (using the example in the help). Everything runs nicely except, that finally I get the error: "Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : need finite xlim values" --- > set.seed(123) > state <- c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, + 1, 1, 1) > markers <- c(1, 2, 1, 1, 2,

Dear all, I would like to calculate the optimal cut off (threshold) of a test using the Epi package. Here I am presenting some data based on the output of two tests. I am interested in identifying the optimal cut off an its 95% CI. Running the ROC() function with the Epi package I obtain a nice picture that returns what I interpret as the optimal cut off with lr.eta=0.431. would be this the

Dear all, Some functions like 'ROC(Epi)' can be used to perform ROC analyssi, but it needs us to specify the fitting model in the argument. Now i have got the predicted p-values (0,1) for the 0/1 response variable using some other approach, see the following example dataset: id mark predict.pvalue 1 1 0.927 2 0 0.928 3 1 0.928 ..................

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")

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 <-

*Hi, *Does anyone know how can I show an *ROC curve for R-SVM*? I understand in R-SVM we are not optimizing over SVM cost parameter. Any example ROC for R-SVM code or guidance can be really useful. Thanks, Angel. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I did some serach around. It seems that ROC curve computation is not supported on R. Anyone has some leads? Thanks. Jason ===== Jason G.

I know how to compute the ROC curve and the empirical AUC from the logistic regression after fitting the model. But here is my question, how can I compute the standard error for the AUC estimator resulting form logistic regression? The variance should be more complicated than AUC based on known test results. Does anybody know a reference on this problem? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a prediction software, now i testing the performance of my method, so i need to calculate a ROC curve, specially auc, cut-off, sens and spec, i just looking at ROCH package, but it's a mass for me, i'm not a math guy and I'm getting lost Could any of you recommend me an easy-to-use package to do this task? i just have a list of positive/negative samples

Hi, I was trying to draw some ROC curves (prediction of case/control status), but seem to be getting a somewhat jagged plot. Can I do something that would 'smooth' it somewhat? Most roc curves seem to have many incremental changes (in x and y directions), but my plot only has 4 or 5 steps even though there are 22 data points. Should I be doing something differently? How can I provide a
