[docs]class ROCAUC(ClassificationScoreVisualizer):
"""
Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves are a measure of a
classifier's predictive quality that compares and visualizes the tradeoff
between the models' sensitivity and specificity. The ROC curve displays
the true positive rate on the Y axis and the false positive rate on the
X axis on both a global average and per-class basis. The ideal point is
therefore the top-left corner of the plot: false positives are zero and
true positives are one.
This leads to another metric, area under the curve (AUC), a computation
of the relationship between false positives and true positives. The higher
the AUC, the better the model generally is. However, it is also important
to inspect the "steepness" of the curve, as this describes the
maximization of the true positive rate while minimizing the false positive
rate. Generalizing "steepness" usually leads to discussions about
convexity, which we do not get into here.
Parameters
----------
estimator : estimator
A scikit-learn estimator that should be a classifier. If the model is
not a classifier, an exception is raised. If the internal model is not
fitted, it is fit when the visualizer is fitted, unless otherwise specified
by ``is_fitted``.
ax : matplotlib Axes, default: None
The axes to plot the figure on. If not specified the current axes will be
used (or generated if required).
micro : bool, default: True
Plot the micro-averages ROC curve, computed from the sum of all true
positives and false positives across all classes. Micro is not defined
for binary classification problems with estimators with only a
decision_function method.
macro : bool, default: True
Plot the macro-averages ROC curve, which simply takes the average of
curves across all classes. Macro is not defined for binary
classification problems with estimators with only a decision_function
method.
per_class : bool, default: True
Plot the ROC curves for each individual class. This should be set
to false if only the macro or micro average curves are required. For true
binary classifiers, setting per_class=False will plot the positive class
ROC curve, and per_class=True will use ``1-P(1)`` to compute the curve of
the negative class if only a decision_function method exists on the estimator.
binary : bool, default: False
This argument quickly resets the visualizer for true binary classification
by updating the micro, macro, and per_class arguments to False (do not use
in conjunction with those other arguments). Note that this is not a true
hyperparameter to the visualizer, it just collects other parameters into
a single, simpler argument.
classes : list of str, defult: None
The class labels to use for the legend ordered by the index of the sorted
classes discovered in the ``fit()`` method. Specifying classes in this
manner is used to change the class names to a more specific format or
to label encoded integer classes. Some visualizers may also use this
field to filter the visualization for specific classes. For more advanced
usage specify an encoder rather than class labels.
encoder : dict or LabelEncoder, default: None
A mapping of classes to human readable labels. Often there is a mismatch
between desired class labels and those contained in the target variable
passed to ``fit()`` or ``score()``. The encoder disambiguates this mismatch
ensuring that classes are labeled correctly in the visualization.
is_fitted : bool or str, default="auto"
Specify if the wrapped estimator is already fitted. If False, the estimator
will be fit when the visualizer is fit, otherwise, the estimator will not be
modified. If "auto" (default), a helper method will check if the estimator
is fitted before fitting it again.
force_model : bool, default: False
Do not check to ensure that the underlying estimator is a classifier. This
will prevent an exception when the visualizer is initialized but may result
in unexpected or unintended behavior.
kwargs : dict
Keyword arguments passed to the visualizer base classes.
Attributes
----------
classes_ : ndarray of shape (n_classes,)
The class labels observed while fitting.
class_count_ : ndarray of shape (n_classes,)
Number of samples encountered for each class during fitting.
score_ : float
An evaluation metric of the classifier on test data produced when
``score()`` is called. This metric is between 0 and 1 -- higher scores are
generally better. For classifiers, this score is usually accuracy, but
if micro or macro is specified this returns an F1 score.
target_type_ : string
Specifies if the detected classification target was binary or multiclass.
Notes
-----
ROC curves are typically used in binary classification, and in fact the
Scikit-Learn ``roc_curve`` metric is only able to perform metrics for
binary classifiers. As a result it is necessary to binarize the output or
to use one-vs-rest or one-vs-all strategies of classification. The
visualizer does its best to handle multiple situations, but exceptions can
arise from unexpected models or outputs.
Another important point is the relationship of class labels specified on
initialization to those drawn on the curves. The classes are not used to
constrain ordering or filter curves; the ROC computation happens on the
unique values specified in the target vector to the ``score`` method. To
ensure the best quality visualization, do not use a LabelEncoder for this
and do not pass in class labels.

Parameters
----------
estimator : estimator
A scikit-learn estimator that should be a classifier. If the model is
not a classifier, an exception is raised. If the internal model is not
fitted, it is fit when the visualizer is fitted, unless otherwise specified
by ``is_fitted``.
X_train : array-like, 2D
The table of instance data or independent variables that describe the outcome of
the dependent variable, y. Used to fit the visualizer and also to score the
visualizer if test splits are not specified.
y_train : array-like, 2D
The vector of target data or the dependent variable predicted by X. Used to fit
the visualizer and also to score the visualizer if test splits not specified.
X_test: array-like, 2D, default: None
The table of instance data or independent variables that describe the outcome of
the dependent variable, y. Used to score the visualizer if specified.
y_test: array-like, 1D, default: None
The vector of target data or the dependent variable predicted by X.
Used to score the visualizer if specified.
ax : matplotlib Axes, default: None
The axes to plot the figure on. If not specified the current axes will be
used (or generated if required).
test_size : float, default=0.2
The percentage of the data to reserve as test data.
random_state : int or None, default=None
The value to seed the random number generator for shuffling data.
micro : bool, default: True
Plot the micro-averages ROC curve, computed from the sum of all true
positives and false positives across all classes. Micro is not defined
for binary classification problems with estimators with only a
decision_function method.
macro : bool, default: True
Plot the macro-averages ROC curve, which simply takes the average of
curves across all classes. Macro is not defined for binary
classification problems with estimators with only a decision_function
method.
per_class : bool, default: True
Plot the ROC curves for each individual class. This should be set
to false if only the macro or micro average curves are required. For true
binary classifiers, setting per_class=False will plot the positive class
ROC curve, and per_class=True will use ``1-P(1)`` to compute the curve of
the negative class if only a decision_function method exists on the estimator.
binary : bool, default: False
This argument quickly resets the visualizer for true binary classification
by updating the micro, macro, and per_class arguments to False (do not use
in conjunction with those other arguments). Note that this is not a true
hyperparameter to the visualizer, it just collects other parameters into

The class labels to use for the legend ordered by the index of the sorted

to label encoded integer classes. Some visualizers may also use this

A mapping of classes to human readable labels. Often there is a mismatch

will be fit when the visualizer is fit, otherwise, the estimator will not be
modified. If "auto" (default), a helper method will check if the estimator
is fitted before fitting it again.
force_model : bool, default: False
Do not check to ensure that the underlying estimator is a classifier. This
will prevent an exception when the visualizer is initialized but may result
in unexpected or unintended behavior.
show: bool, default: True
If True, calls ``show()``, which in turn calls ``plt.show()`` however you cannot
call ``plt.savefig`` from this signature, nor ``clear_figure``. If False, simply
calls ``finalize()``
kwargs : dict
Keyword arguments passed to the visualizer base classes.
Notes
-----
ROC curves are typically used in binary classification, and in fact the
Scikit-Learn ``roc_curve`` metric is only able to perform metrics for
binary classifiers. As a result it is necessary to binarize the output or
to use one-vs-rest or one-vs-all strategies of classification. The
visualizer does its best to handle multiple situations, but exceptions can
arise from unexpected models or outputs.
Another important point is the relationship of class labels specified on
initialization to those drawn on the curves. The classes are not used to
constrain ordering or filter curves; the ROC computation happens on the
unique values specified in the target vector to the ``score`` method. To
ensure the best quality visualization, do not use a LabelEncoder for this
and do not pass in class labels.
