A piece of fairly simple Matlab script to draw the ROC Curve from an array of scores and an array of labels.
function [Tps, Fps] = ROC(scores, labels) %% Sort Labels and Scores by Scores sl = [scores; labels]; [d1 d2] = sort(sl(1,:)); sorted_sl = sl(:,d2); s_scores = sorted_sl(1,:); s_labels = round(sorted_sl(2,:)); %% Constants counts = histc(s_labels, unique(s_labels)); Tps = zeros(1, size(s_labels,2) + 1); Fps = zeros(1, size(s_labels,2) + 1); negCount = counts(1); posCount = counts(2); %% Shift threshold to find the ROC for thresIdx = 1:(size(s_scores,2)+1) % for each Threshold Index tpCount = 0; fpCount = 0; for i = [1:size(s_scores,2)] if (i >= thresIdx) % We think it is positive if (s_labels(i) == 1) % Right! tpCount = tpCount + 1; else % Wrong! fpCount = fpCount + 1; end end end Tps(thresIdx) = tpCount/posCount; Fps(thresIdx) = fpCount/negCount; end %% Draw the Curve % Sort [Tps;Fps] x = Tps; y = Fps; % Interplotion to draw spline line count = 100; dist = (x(1) - x(size(x,2)))/100; xx = [x(1):-dist:x(size(x,2))]; % In order to get the interpolations, we remove all the unique numbers [d1 d2] = unique(x); uni_x = x(1,d2); uni_y = y(1,d2); yy = spline(uni_x,uni_y,xx); % No value should exceed 1 yy = min(yy, 1); plot(x,y,'x',xx,yy); |
Hope it helps.
Some improvements were added.
For a sample input:
>> scores = rand(1,20)*100 scores = Columns 1 through 7 43.8744 38.1558 76.5517 79.5200 18.6873 48.9764 44.5586 Columns 8 through 14 64.6313 70.9365 75.4687 27.6025 67.9703 65.5098 16.2612 Columns 15 through 20 11.8998 49.8364 95.9744 34.0386 58.5268 22.3812 >> labels = round(rand(1,20)) labels = Columns 1 through 12 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 Columns 13 through 20 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 >> ROC(scores,labels); |
Gives an output like:
