plotroc

Plot receiver operating characteristic

Syntax

plotroc(targets,outputs)

plotroc(targets1,outputs2,'name1',...)

Description

plotroc(targets,outputs) plots the receiver operating characteristic for each output class. The more each curve hugs the left and top edges of the plot, the better the classification.

Tip

plotroc does not support categorical targets. To plot ROC metrics for categorical targets, use rocmetrics.

plotroc(targets1,outputs2,'name1',...) generates multiple plots.

Examples

Plot Receiver Operating Characteristic

This example shows how to plot the receiver operating characteristic for each output class in a pattern network.

load simplecluster_dataset
net = patternnet(20);
net = train(net,simpleclusterInputs,simpleclusterTargets);

simpleclusterOutputs = sim(net,simpleclusterInputs);
plotroc(simpleclusterTargets,simpleclusterOutputs)

Input Arguments

targets — Network targets

matrix | cell array

Network targets, specified as a matrix or cell array.

outputs — Network outputs

matrix | cell array

Network outputs, specified as a matrix or cell array.
