The area under the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve is a performance metric used to evaluate the accuracy of a binary classification model. This metric quantifies how well the model distinguishes between two classes, providing insight into its sensitivity and specificity across various threshold settings. A higher area indicates a better ability of the model to correctly classify positive and negative instances.
congrats on reading the definition of area under the ROC curve. now let's actually learn it.
