 This metric creates four local variables, true_positives, true_negatives, false_positives and false_negatives that are used to compute the AUC. To discretize the AUC curve, a linearly spaced set of thresholds is used to compute pairs of recall and precision values. The area under the ROC-curve is therefore computed using the height of the recall values by the false positive rate, while the area under the PR-curve is the computed using the height of the precision values by the recall. This value is ultimately returned as auc, an idempotent operation that computes the area under a discretized curve of precision versus recall values (computed using the aforementioned variables). The num_thresholds variable controls the degree of discretization with larger numbers of thresholds more closely approximating the true AUC. The quality of the approximation may vary dramatically depending on num_thresholds. The thresholds parameter can be used to manually specify thresholds which split the predictions more evenly. For best results, predictions should be distributed approximately uniformly in the range [0, 1] and not peaked around 0 or 1. The quality of the AUC approximation may be poor if this is not the case. Setting summation_method to 'minoring' or 'majoring' can help quantify the error in the approximation by providing lower or upper bound estimate of the AUC. If sample_weight is None, weights default to 1. Use sample_weight of 0 to mask values.
 


 Args
  num_thresholds   (Optional) Defaults to 200. The number of thresholds to use when discretizing the roc curve. Values must be > 1.  
  curve   (Optional) Specifies the name of the curve to be computed, 'ROC' [default] or 'PR' for the Precision-Recall-curve.  
  summation_method   (Optional) Specifies the Riemann summation method used. 'interpolation' (default) applies mid-point summation scheme for ROC. For PR-AUC, interpolates (true/false) positives but not the ratio that is precision (see Davis & Goadrich 2006 for details); 'minoring' applies left summation for increasing intervals and right summation for decreasing intervals; 'majoring' does the opposite.  
  name   (Optional) string name of the metric instance.  
  dtype   (Optional) data type of the metric result.  
  thresholds   (Optional) A list of floating point values to use as the thresholds for discretizing the curve. If set, the num_thresholds parameter is ignored. Values should be in [0, 1]. Endpoint thresholds equal to {-epsilon, 1+epsilon} for a small positive epsilon value will be automatically included with these to correctly handle predictions equal to exactly 0 or 1.  
  multi_label   boolean indicating whether multilabel data should be treated as such, wherein AUC is computed separately for each label and then averaged across labels, or (when False) if the data should be flattened into a single label before AUC computation. In the latter case, when multilabel data is passed to AUC, each label-prediction pair is treated as an individual data point. Should be set to False for multi-class data.  
  label_weights   (optional) list, array, or tensor of non-negative weights used to compute AUCs for multilabel data. When multi_label is True, the weights are applied to the individual label AUCs when they are averaged to produce the multi-label AUC. When it's False, they are used to weight the individual label predictions in computing the confusion matrix on the flattened data. Note that this is unlike class_weights in that class_weights weights the example depending on the value of its label, whereas label_weights depends only on the index of that label before flattening; therefore label_weights should not be used for multi-class data.    Standalone usage: 
m = tf.keras.metrics.AUC(num_thresholds=3)
m.update_state([0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 0.5, 0.3, 0.9])
# threshold values are [0 - 1e-7, 0.5, 1 + 1e-7]
# tp = [2, 1, 0], fp = [2, 0, 0], fn = [0, 1, 2], tn = [0, 2, 2]
# recall = [1, 0.5, 0], fp_rate = [1, 0, 0]
# auc = ((((1+0.5)/2)*(1-0))+ (((0.5+0)/2)*(0-0))) = 0.75
m.result().numpy()
0.75

 Attributes
  thresholds   The thresholds used for evaluating AUC.    Methods interpolate_pr_auc View source 
interpolate_pr_auc()
 Interpolation formula inspired by section 4 of Davis & Goadrich 2006. https://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~page/rocpr.pdf Note here we derive & use a closed formula not present in the paper as follows: Precision = TP / (TP + FP) = TP / P Modeling all of TP (true positive), FP (false positive) and their sum P = TP + FP (predicted positive) as varying linearly within each interval [A, B] between successive thresholds, we get Precision slope = dTP / dP = (TP_B - TP_A) / (P_B - P_A) = (TP - TP_A) / (P - P_A) Precision = (TP_A + slope * (P - P_A)) / P The area within the interval is (slope / total_pos_weight) times int_A^B{Precision.dP} = int_A^B{(TP_A + slope * (P - P_A)) * dP / P} int_A^B{Precision.dP} = int_A^B{slope * dP + intercept * dP / P} where intercept = TP_A - slope * P_A = TP_B - slope * P_B, resulting in int_A^B{Precision.dP} = TP_B - TP_A + intercept * log(P_B / P_A) Bringing back the factor (slope / total_pos_weight) we'd put aside, we get slope * [dTP + intercept * log(P_B / P_A)] / total_pos_weight where dTP == TP_B - TP_A. Note that when P_A == 0 the above calculation simplifies into int_A^B{Precision.dTP} = int_A^B{slope * dTP} = slope * (TP_B - TP_A) which is really equivalent to imputing constant precision throughout the first bucket having >0 true positives.
