ROC curve

compute a ROC curve

ROC - Receiver Operating Characteristics.
The ROC graphs are a useful technique for organizing classifiers and visualizing their performance. ROC graphs are commonly used in medical decision making.
YOU CAN USE THIS FUNCTION ONLY AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE A BINARY CLASSIFICATOR.
The input is a Nx2 matrix: in the first column you will put your test values (i.e. glucose blood level); in the second column you will put only 1 or 0 (i.e. 1 if the subject is diabetic; 0 if he/she is healthy).

The function computes and plots the classical ROC curve and curves for Sensitivity, Specificity and Efficiency (see the screenshot).

The function will show 6 cut-off points:
1) Max sensitivity
2) Max specificity
3) Cost effective (Sensitivity=Specificity)
4) Max Efficiency
5) Max PLR
6) Max NLR

ROC requires the Curve fitting toolbox.
