Figure 8. The table label describes the ROC curve, which demonstrates the balance between sensitivity and specificity at different classification thresholds. An ideal classifier would achieve a TPR of 1.0 and an FPR of 0.0 at all threshold values, resulting in a ROC curve with a TPR of at least 0.93 at an FPR of 0.01 or below. The classifier’s performance is summarized by the area under the curve (AUC) with a range of 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.5 indicates random guessing and 1.0 shows a perfect classifier. The classifier discussed has an AUC of 0.986, indicating strong discrimination power between nodule-benign and nodule-malignant cases.
