RocCurve

class ignite.contrib.metrics.RocCurve(output_transform=<function RocCurve.<lambda>>, check_compute_fn=False, device=device(type='cpu'))

Compute Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) for binary classification task by accumulating predictions and the ground-truth during an epoch and applying sklearn.metrics.roc_curve .

Parameters

• output_transform (Callable) – a callable that is used to transform the Engine’s process_function’s output into the form expected by the metric. This can be useful if, for example, you have a multi-output model and you want to compute the metric with respect to one of the outputs.

• check_compute_fn (bool) –

  Default False. If True, sklearn.metrics.roc_curve is run on the first batch of data to ensure there are no issues. User will be warned in case there are any issues computing the function.

• device (Union[str, device]) – optional device specification for internal storage.

Note

RocCurve expects y to be comprised of 0’s and 1’s. y_pred must either be probability estimates or confidence values. To apply an activation to y_pred, use output_transform as shown below:

def sigmoid_output_transform(output):
    y_pred, y = output
    y_pred = torch.sigmoid(y_pred)
    return y_pred, y
avg_precision = RocCurve(sigmoid_output_transform)

print("FPR", [round(i, 3) for i in state.metrics['roc_auc'][0].tolist()])
print("TPR", [round(i, 3) for i in state.metrics['roc_auc'][1].tolist()])
print("Thresholds", [round(i, 3) for i in state.metrics['roc_auc'][2].tolist()])

FPR [0.0, 0.333, 0.333, 1.0]
TPR [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0]
Thresholds [2.0, 1.0, 0.711, 0.047]

Changed in version 0.4.11: added device argument

Methods

compute

Computes the metric based on it's accumulated state.

compute()

Computes the metric based on it’s accumulated state.

By default, this is called at the end of each epoch.

Returns

the actual quantity of interest. However, if a Mapping is returned, it will be (shallow) flattened into engine.state.metrics when completed() is called.

Return type

Any

Raises

NotComputableError – raised when the metric cannot be computed.
