sklearn.metrics.roc_curve¶
- sklearn.metrics.roc_curve(y_true, y_score, pos_label=None, sample_weight=None)¶
Compute Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)
Note: this implementation is restricted to the binary classification task.
Parameters: y_true : array, shape = [n_samples]
True binary labels in range {0, 1} or {-1, 1}. If labels are not binary, pos_label should be explicitly given.
y_score : array, shape = [n_samples]
Target scores, can either be probability estimates of the positive class or confidence values.
pos_label : int
Label considered as positive and others are considered negative.
sample_weight : array-like of shape = [n_samples], optional
Sample weights.
Returns: fpr : array, shape = [>2]
Increasing false positive rates such that element i is the false positive rate of predictions with score >= thresholds[i].
tpr : array, shape = [>2]
Increasing true positive rates such that element i is the true positive rate of predictions with score >= thresholds[i].
thresholds : array, shape = [n_thresholds]
Decreasing thresholds on the decision function used to compute fpr and tpr. thresholds[0] represents no instances being predicted and is arbitrarily set to max(y_score) + 1.

Notes
Since the thresholds are sorted from low to high values, they are reversed upon returning them to ensure they correspond to both fpr and tpr, which are sorted in reversed order during their calculation.
