ROC curve

  • Binary case:
    • Y = true positive rate = sensitivity,
    • X = false positive rate = 1-specificity = 假陽性率
  • Area under the curve AUC from the wikipedia: the probability that a classifier will rank a randomly chosen positive instance higher than a randomly chosen negative one (assuming 'positive' ranks higher than 'negative').
    [math]\displaystyle{ A = \int_{\infty}^{-\infty} \mbox{TPR}(T) \mbox{FPR}'(T) \, dT = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} I(T'\gt T)f_1(T') f_0(T) \, dT' \, dT = P(X_1 \gt X_0) }[/math]
    where [math]\displaystyle{ X_1 }[/math] is the score for a positive instance and [math]\displaystyle{ X_0 }[/math] is the score for a negative instance, and [math]\displaystyle{ f_0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ f_1 }[/math] are probability densities as defined in previous section.
  • Interpretation of the AUC. A small toy example (n=12=4+8) was used to calculate the exact probability [math]\displaystyle{ P(X_1 \gt X_0) }[/math] (4*8=32 all combinations).
    • It is a discrimination measure which tells us how well we can classify patients in two groups: those with and those without the outcome of interest.
    • Since the measure is based on ranks, it is not sensitive to systematic errors in the calibration of the quantitative tests.
    • The AUC can be defined as The probability that a randomly selected case will have a higher test result than a randomly selected control.
    • Plot of sensitivity/specificity (y-axis) vs cutoff points of the biomarker
    • The Mann-Whitney U test statistic (or Wilcoxon or Kruskall-Wallis test statistic) is equivalent to the AUC (Mason, 2002)
    • The p-value of the Mann-Whitney U test can thus safely be used to test whether the AUC differs significantly from 0.5 (AUC of an uninformative test).
  • Calculate AUC by hand. AUC is equal to the probability that a true positive is scored greater than a true negative.
  • See the uROC() function in <functions.R> from the supplementary of the paper (need access right) Bivariate Marker Measurements and ROC Analysis Wang 2012. Let [math]\displaystyle{ n_1 }[/math] be the number of obs from X1 and [math]\displaystyle{ n_0 }[/math] be the number of obs from X0. X1 and X0 are the predict values for data from group 1 and 0. [math]\displaystyle{ TP_i=Prob(X_1\gt X_{0i})=\sum_j (X_{1j} \gt X_{0i})/n_1, ~ FP_i=Prob(X_0\gt X_{0i}) = \sum_j (X_{0j} \gt X_{0i}) / n_0 }[/math]. We can draw a scatter plot or smooth.spline() of TP(y-axis) vs FP(x-axis) for the ROC curve.
uROC <- function(marker, status)   ### ROC function for univariate marker ###
{
    x <- marker
    bad <-  is.na(status) | is.na(x) 
    status <- status[!bad]
    x <- x[!bad]
    if (sum(bad) > 0) 
        cat(paste("\n", sum(bad), "records with missing values dropped. \n"))
	no_case <- sum(status==1)
	no_control <- sum(status==0)
	TP <- rep(0, no_control)
	FP <- rep(0, no_control)
	for (i in 1: no_control){	
	  TP[i] <- sum(x[status==1]>x[status==0][i])/no_case	
	  FP[i] <- sum(x[status==0]>x[status==0][i])/no_control	
    }
    list(TP = TP, FP = FP)
}

Survival data

'Survival Model Predictive Accuracy and ROC Curves' by Heagerty & Zheng 2005

  • Recall Sensitivity= [math]\displaystyle{ P(\hat{p_i} \gt c | Y_i=1) }[/math], Specificity= [math]\displaystyle{ P(\hat{p}_i \le c | Y_i=0 }[/math]), [math]\displaystyle{ Y_i }[/math] is binary outcomes, [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{p}_i }[/math] is a prediction, [math]\displaystyle{ c }[/math] is a criterion for classifying the prediction as positive ([math]\displaystyle{ \hat{p}_i \gt c }[/math]) or negative ([math]\displaystyle{ \hat{p}_i \le c }[/math]).
  • For survival data, we need to use a fixed time/horizon (t) to classify the data as either a case or a control. Following Heagerty and Zheng's definition in Survival Model Predictive Accuracy and ROC Curves (Incident/dynamic) 2005, Sensitivity(c, t)= [math]\displaystyle{ P(M_i \gt c | T_i = t) }[/math], Specificity= [math]\displaystyle{ P(M_i \le c | T_i \gt t }[/math]) where M is a marker value or [math]\displaystyle{ Z^T \beta }[/math]. Here sensitivity measures the expected fraction of subjects with a marker greater than c among the subpopulation of individuals who die at time t, while specificity measures the fraction of subjects with a marker less than or equal to c among those who survive beyond time t.
  • The AUC measures the probability that the marker value for a randomly selected case exceeds the marker value for a randomly selected control
  • ROC curves are useful for comparing the discriminatory capacity of different potential biomarkers.

  • Sensitivity 敏感度 = TP / (TP + FN) = Recall
  • Specificity 特異度 = TN / (TN + FP)
  • Accuracy = (TP + TN) / N
  • False discovery rate FDR = FP / (TP + FP)
  • False negative rate FNR = FN / (TP + FN)
  • False positive rate FPR = FP / (FP + TN) = 1 - Spec
  • True positive rate = TP / (TP + FN) = Sensitivity
  • Positive predictive value (PPV) = TP / # positive calls = TP / (TP + FP) = 1 - FDR = Precision
  • Negative predictive value (NPV) = TN / # negative calls = TN / (FN + TN)
  • Prevalence 盛行率 = (TP + FN) / N.
  • Note that PPV & NPV can also be computed from sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{PPV} = \frac{\text{sensitivity} \times \text{prevalence}}{\text{sensitivity} \times \text{prevalence}+(1-\text{specificity}) \times (1-\text{prevalence})} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{NPV} = \frac{\text{specificity} \times (1-\text{prevalence})}{(1-\text{sensitivity}) \times \text{prevalence}+\text{specificity} \times (1-\text{prevalence})} }[/math]

Some R packages

pROC

  • https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pROC/index.html
  • pROC: display and analyze ROC curves in R and S+
  • ROC Curve and AUC in Machine learning and R pROC Package 
    library(pROC)
data(aSAH)
str(aSAH[,c('outcome', "s100b")])
# 'data.frame':	113 obs. of  2 variables:
#  $ outcome: Factor w/ 2 levels "Good","Poor": 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 1 1 ...
#  $ s100b  : num  0.13 0.14 0.1 0.04 0.13 0.1 0.47 0.16 0.18 0.1 ...
roc.s100b <- roc(aSAH$outcome, aSAH$s100b)

roc(aSAH$outcome, aSAH$s100b, 
  plot=TRUE,
  auc=TRUE,  # already the default
  col="green",
  lwd =4,
  legacy.axes=TRUE,
  main="ROC Curves")
# Data: aSAH$s100b in 72 controls (aSAH$outcome Good) < 41 cases (aSAH$outcome Poor).
# Area under the curve: 0.7314

auc(roc.s100b)
# Area under the curve: 0.7314

auc(aSAH$outcome, aSAH$s100b)
# Area under the curve: 0.7314

    Note: in pROC::roc() or auc(), the response is on the 1st argument while in caret::confusionMatrix(), truth/reference is on the 2nd argument.

    If we flipped the outcomes, it won't affect AUC. 

    aSAH$outcome2 <- factor(ifelse(aSAH$outcome == "Good", "Poor", "Good"), 
                        levels=c("Good", "Poor"))
roc(aSAH$outcome2, aSAH$s100b)
# Data: aSAH$s100b in 41 controls (aSAH$outcome2 Good) > 72 cases (aSAH$outcome2 Poor).
# Area under the curve: 0.7314

Comparison of two AUCs

  • Statistical Assessments of AUC. This is using the pROC::roc.test function.
  • prioritylasso. It is using roc(), auc(), roc.test(), plot.roc() from the pROC package. The calculation based on the training data is biased so we need to report the one based on test data.
