auc_ci {precrec}

Calculate CIs of ROC and precision-recall AUCs

Description

The auc_ci function takes an S3 object generated by evalmod and calculates CIs of AUCs when multiple data sets are specified.

Usage

auc_ci(curves, alpha = NULL, dtype = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'aucs'
auc_ci(curves, alpha = 0.05, dtype = "normal")

Arguments

curves

An S3 object generated by evalmod. The auc_ci function accepts the following S3 objects.

S3 object	# of models	# of test datasets
smcurves	single	multiple
mmcurves	multiple	multiple

See the Value section of evalmod for more details.

alpha

A numeric value of the significant level (default: 0.05)

dtype

A string to specify the distribution used for CI calculation.

dtype	distribution
normal (default)	Normal distribution
z	Normal distribution
t	t-distribution

Value

The auc_ci function returns a dataframe of AUC CIs.

Examples

##################################################
### Single model & multiple test datasets
###

## Create sample datasets with 100 positives and 100 negatives
samps <- create_sim_samples(4, 100, 100, "good_er")
mdat <- mmdata(samps[["scores"]], samps[["labels"]],
  modnames = samps[["modnames"]],
  dsids = samps[["dsids"]]
)

## Generate an smcurve object that contains ROC and Precision-Recall curves
smcurves <- evalmod(mdat)

## Calculate CI of AUCs
sm_auc_cis <- auc_ci(smcurves)

## Shows the result
