Is there a single best estimator? Selection of home range estimators using area-under-the-curve
BACKGROUND Global positioning system (GPS) technology for monitoring home range and movements of wildlife has resulted in prohibitively large sample sizes of locations for traditional estimators of home range. We used area-under-the-curve to explore the fit of 8 estimators of home range to data collected with both GPS and concurrent very high frequency (VHF) technology on a terrestrial mammal, ...
متن کاملIs There a Kuznets Curve?
No. There has never been good evidence for a pattern of rising inequality in low-income countries and falling inequality in higher income countries. The only evidence that appears to support the Kuznets hypothesis is the cross-sectional pattern of inequality levels across countries, although the Kuznets hypothesis is an assertion about the path of inequality within countries. Numerous cross-sec...
متن کاملLearning Decision Trees Using the Area Under the ROC Curve
ROC analysis is increasingly being recognised as an important tool for evaluation and comparison of classifiers when the operating characteristics (i.e. class distribution and cost parameters) are not known at training time. Usually, each classifier is characterised by its estimated true and false positive rates and is represented by a single point in the ROC diagram. In this paper, we show how...
متن کاملOptimizing Area Under the ROC Curve using Ranking SVMs
Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC), often used for comparing classifiers, is a widely accepted performance measure for ranking instances. Many researches have studied optimization of AUC, usually via optimizing some approximation of a ranking function. Ranking SVMs are among the better performers but their usage in the literature is typically limited to learning a total ranking from partial ranking...
متن کاملBoosting the Area under the ROC Curve
We show that any weak ranker that can achieve an area under the ROC curve slightly better than 1/2 (which can be achieved by random guessing) can be efficiently boosted to achieve an area under the ROC curve arbitrarily close to 1. We further show that this boosting can be performed even in the presence of independent misclassification noise, given access to a noise-tolerant weak ranker.
