ROC Curve As we already introduced Precision and Recall the ROC curve is another way of looking at the quality of classification algorithms. ROC stands for Receiver Operating Characteristic The ROC curve is created by plotting the true positive rate (TPR) on the y-axis against the false positive rate (FPR) on the x-axis at various…
