Step 1: Install and Load Required Packages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t already installed the ROCR<\/code> package, you can do so using the install.packages<\/code> function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

install.packages(\"ROCR\")<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
After installation, load the package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
library(ROCR)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Prepare the Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I will use a hypothetical dataset and a simple logistic regression model for this example. You can replace this with your own data and model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Load sample data\ndata(ROCR.simple)\n\n# Extract true class labels and predicted probabilities\npredictions <- ROCR.simple$predictions\nlabels <- ROCR.simple$labels<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Here, predictions<\/code> are the predicted probabilities (scores) for the positive class, and labels<\/code> are the true binary labels (0 or 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Create a Prediction Object<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To create a prediction object that ROCR can work with, use the prediction<\/code> function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pred <- prediction(predictions, labels)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Calculate ROC Curve Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Use the performance<\/code> function to calculate the ROC curve data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
roc <- performance(pred, \"tpr\", \"fpr\")<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Plot the ROC Curve<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can now create and customize the ROC curve plot using the plot<\/code> function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
plot(roc, main=\"ROC Curve\", colorize=TRUE, print.auc=TRUE)\nabline(a=0, b=1, lty=2, col=\"gray\")<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\n
main<\/code> sets the title of the plot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
colorize<\/code> adds color to the plot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
print.auc<\/code> displays the AUC (Area Under the Curve) on the plot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
abline<\/code> adds a dashed reference line representing a random classifier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Save the Plot (Optional)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want to save the plot to a file, you can use the pdf<\/code>, png<\/code>, or other plotting functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pdf(\"ROC_curve.pdf\")\nplot(roc, main=\"ROC Curve\", colorize=TRUE, print.auc=TRUE)\nabline(a=0, b=1, lty=2, col=\"gray\")\ndev.off()<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This code saves the ROC curve to a PDF file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your ROC curve plot should now be displayed on the screen (or saved as a file if you opted to do so). As you change the classification threshold, the curve will show the trade-off between true positive rate (sensitivity) and false positive rate (1 – specificity).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
