Description

The use and advantages of Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for a binary classification is discussed in the context of a high energy physics classification problem. In particular, we look into the crucial task of obtaining the optimal cutoff or operating point using the curve for a multidimensional data and propose a novel method to obtain it. The results are illustrated using a standard SUSY data set.
