Greetings,

This is more of an explanation question but I was using the colAUC function
on the iris dataset and everything works smoothly.  This provides the AUC
for each pairwise comparison.  I decided to do the actual subset for one of
the comparisons and the numbers are different (.9326 v. .9152).  How/Why
could this be?

require(caTools)
data(iris)

colAUC(iris[,1], iris[,5], plotROC=FALSE, alg = "ROC")

> colAUC(iris[,1], iris[,5], plotROC=FALSE, alg = "ROC")                        
>    [,1]
setosa vs. versicolor    0.9326
setosa vs. virginica     0.9846
versicolor vs. virginica 0.7896

set_vers <- subset(iris, Species==c("setosa","versicolor"))
set_vers$Species <- factor(set_vers$Species)

colAUC(set_vers[,1], set_vers[,5], plotROC=FALSE, alg = "ROC")

> colAUC(set_vers[,1], set_vers[,5], plotROC=FALSE, alg = "ROC")                
>         [,1]
setosa vs. versicolor 0.9152
