Computationally Efficient Confidence Intervals For Cross-Validated Area Under The Roc Curve Estimates, Erin Ledell, Maya L. Petersen, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
In binary classification problems, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), is an effective means of measuring the performance of your model. Most often, cross-validation is also used, in order to assess how the results will generalize to an independent data set. In order to evaluate the quality of an estimate for cross-validated AUC, we must obtain an estimate for its variance. For massive data sets, the process of generating a single performance estimate can be computationally expensive. Additionally, when using a complex prediction method, calculating the cross-validated AUC on even a relatively small data set can still require a …
