My Classification Model has a ROC AUC of 0.8266

ROC AUC is a valuable metric for evaluating and comparing the performance of machine learning models, offering insights into their ability to make accurate predictions across different scenarios.

The graph between the True Positive Rate on the y-axis and the False Positive Rate on the x-axis is called the ROC curve and is used in binary classification.

The graph shows the performance of a classification model at all classification thresholds.

The False Positive Rate (FPR) is calculated by taking the ratio between False Positives and the total number of negative samples.

The True Positive Rate (TPR) is calculated by taking the ratio between True Positives and the total number of positive samples.

In order to construct the ROC curve, the TPR and FPR values are plotted on multiple threshold values.

ROC AUC quantifies the model's ability to distinguish between the positive and negative classes.

A higher AUC value indicates better performance.

The area range under the ROC curve has a range between 0 and 1.

A value of 0.8266 for ROC AUC suggests that the model is reasonably good at distinguishing between the two classes (positive and negative).

Generally, an AUC value above 0.5 indicates that the model is better than random guessing.

Therefore, a value of 0.8266 suggests that the model performs significantly better than random chance.

Book Review 👏👏

Recently I got to grab the PostgreSQL 16 Administration cookbook to deep dive into the administrative aspects of the Postgres ecosystem.

Here’s my review of the book

The book has gotten me up and running with all the latest features of PostgreSQL and explored the entire database ecosystem.

This book starts by introducing you to PostgreSQL and slowly makes you comfortable by helping you explore the database.

As you make progress it will draw your attention to more important topics.

This will help you with challenges like table creation, view management, performance enhancement, and DataBase security.

In short, this book has everything you need for your PostgreSQL Administration.

It’s apt for both beginners starting their PostgreSQL journey and those with some experience.
