An Improved Model Selection Heuristic for AUC
Abstract. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) has been widely used to measure ranking performance for binary classification tasks. AUC only employs the classifier’s scores to ra...

Optimizing Classifier Performance via an Approximation to the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Statistic
When the goal is to achieve the best correct classification rate, cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classifier performance. However,...

Sample Size Estimation using the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve
In this paper we describe two related approaches to estimating the sample sizes required to statistically compare the performance of two classifiers: acceptable failure rates (AFR...
