mlr_measures_classif.auc {mlr3}

Area Under the ROC Curve

Description

Measure to compare true observed labels with predicted probabilities in binary classification tasks.

Details

Computes the area under the Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve. The AUC can be interpreted as the probability that a randomly chosen positive observation has a higher predicted probability than a randomly chosen negative observation.

This measure is undefined if the true values are either all positive or all negative.

Dictionary

This Measure can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_measures or with the associated sugar function msr():

mlr_measures$get("classif.auc")
msr("classif.auc")

Parameters

Empty ParamSet

Meta Information

• Type: "binary"

• Range: [0, 1]

• Minimize: FALSE

• Required prediction: prob

Note

The score function calls mlr3measures::auc() from package mlr3measures.

If the measure is undefined for the input, NaN is returned. This can be customized by setting the field na_value.
