==================================================
Multiclass Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)
==================================================
This example describes the use of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)
metric to evaluate the quality of multiclass classifiers.
ROC curves typically feature true positive rate (TPR) on the Y axis, and false
positive rate (FPR) on the X axis. This means that the top left corner of the
plot is the "ideal" point - a FPR of zero, and a TPR of one. This is not very
realistic, but it does mean that a larger area under the curve (AUC) is usually
better. The "steepness" of ROC curves is also important, since it is ideal to
maximize the TPR while minimizing the FPR.
ROC curves are typically used in binary classification, where the TPR and FPR
can be defined unambiguously. In the case of multiclass classification, a notion
of TPR or FPR is obtained only after binarizing the output. This can be done in
2 different ways:
- the One-vs-Rest scheme compares each class against all the others (assumed as
one);
- the One-vs-One scheme compares every unique pairwise combination of classes.
In this example we explore both schemes and demo the concepts of micro and macro
averaging as different ways of summarizing the information of the multiclass ROC
curves.
.. note::
See :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_model_selection_plot_roc_crossval.py` for
an extension of the present example estimating the variance of the ROC
curves and their respective AUC.

# One-vs-Rest multiclass ROC
# ==========================
#
# The One-vs-the-Rest (OvR) multiclass strategy, also known as one-vs-all,
# consists in computing a ROC curve per each of the `n_classes`. In each step, a
# given class is regarded as the positive class and the remaining classes are
# regarded as the negative class as a bulk.
#
# .. note:: One should not confuse the OvR strategy used for the **evaluation**
# of multiclass classifiers with the OvR strategy used to **train** a
# multiclass classifier by fitting a set of binary classifiers (for instance
# via the :class:`~sklearn.multiclass.OneVsRestClassifier` meta-estimator).
# The OvR ROC evaluation can be used to scrutinize any kind of classification
# models irrespectively of how they were trained (see :ref:`multiclass`).
#
# In this section we use a :class:`~sklearn.preprocessing.LabelBinarizer` to
# binarize the target by one-hot-encoding in a OvR fashion. This means that the
# target of shape (`n_samples`,) is mapped to a target of shape (`n_samples`,

# One-vs-One multiclass ROC
# =========================
#
# The One-vs-One (OvO) multiclass strategy consists in fitting one classifier
# per class pair. Since it requires to train `n_classes` * (`n_classes` - 1) / 2
# classifiers, this method is usually slower than One-vs-Rest due to its
# O(`n_classes` ^2) complexity.

# for the 3 possible combinations in the :ref:`iris_dataset`: "setosa" vs

# that micro-averaging is not defined for the OvO scheme.
