Probability

•Probabilities are associated with experiments where the outcome is not known in advance or cannot be predicted

•The sample space S is the set of all possible outcomes in an experiment.

•An element in S is called a sample point.•Each outcome of an experiment

corresponds to a sample point•Any subset of S is called an event.

Probability

•Sample space of rolling a die:▫S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

•The event “even”:▫E = {2,4,6}

•The event Greater than 3:▫E = {4,5,6}

•Sample space of tossing two coins▫S = {HH,HT,TH,TT}

Probability

Probability

•The complement of “even” is “odd”:▫E = {1,3,5}

•The union of Greater than 3 and “odd”:▫E = {1,3,4,5,6}

•The intersection of Greater than 3 and “odd”:▫E = {5}

Receiver Operating Curve

Receiver Operating Curve

Receiver Operating Curve

• The ROC curve was first used during World War II for the analysis of radar signals before it was employed in signal detection theory.

• Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States army began new research to increase the prediction of correctly detected Japanese aircraft from their radar signals.

• In medicine, ROC analysis has been extensively used in the evaluation of diagnostic tests

• ROC curves are also used extensively in epidemiology and medical research and are frequently mentioned in conjunction with evidence-based medicine.

• In radiology, ROC analysis is a common technique to evaluate new radiology techniques.

• In the social sciences, ROC analysis is often called the ROC Accuracy Ratio, a common technique for judging the accuracy of default probability models.

• ROC curves also proved useful for the evaluation of machine learning techniques.
