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 Regards, -- Charles Determan Integrated Biosciences PhD Candidate University of Minnesota [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
