Precision/Recall和ROC曲线

   1、Precision/Recall的基本概念

查准率和查全率是信息检索效率评价的两个定量指标，不仅可以用来评价每次检索的准确性和全面性，也是在信息检索系统评价中衡量系统检索性能的重要方面。

（1）查准率（Precision ratio，简称为P），是指检出的相关文献数占检出文献总数的百分比。查准率反映检索准确性，其补数就是误检率。

查准率＝（检索出的相关信息量/检索出的信息总量）*100%

（2）查全率（Recall ratio，简称为R），是指检出的相关文献数占系统中相关文献总数的百分比。查全率反映检索全面性，其补数就是漏检率。

查全率＝（检索出的相关信息量/系统中的相关信息总量）*100%

【Precision/Recall曲线的来源】

要评价信息检索系统的性能水平，就必须在一个检索系统中进行多次检索。每进行一次检索，都计算其查准率和查全率，并以此作为坐标值，在平面坐标图上标示出来。通过大量的检索，就可以得到检索系统的性能曲线。 
Precision/Recall曲线一般是以每一次计算的查全率为横坐标，每一次计算的查准率为纵坐标。如下图所示： 
 
该图是由100次检索得到的，由图可知：在查全率和查准率之间存在着相反的相互依赖关系–如果提高输出的查全率，就会降低其查准率

【ROC曲线】

ROC曲线的横坐标为false positive rate，纵坐标为true positive rate。 
其中

false positive rate=搜索出的不相关信息量/系统中的不相关信息量

true positive rate=搜索到的相关信息量/系统中的相关信息量

如下图所示： 
 
该曲线也是由100次检索得到的，由图可知，false positive rate与true positive rate之间是正相关的。

功能函数代码：

function [prec, tpr, fpr, thresh] = prec_rec(score, target, varargin)
% PREC_REC - Compute and plot precision/recall and ROC curves.
%
%   PREC_REC(SCORE,TARGET), where SCORE and TARGET are equal-sized vectors,
%   and TARGET is binary, plots the corresponding precision-recall graph
%   and the ROC curve.
%
%   Several options of the form PREC_REC(...,'OPTION_NAME', OPTION_VALUE)
%   can be used to modify the default behavior.
%      - 'instanceCount': Usually it is assumed that one line in the input
%                         data corresponds to a single sample. However, it
%                         might be the case that there are a total of N
%                         instances with the same SCORE, out of which
%                         TARGET are classified as positive, and (N -
%                         TARGET) are classified as negative. Instead of
%                         using repeated samples with the same SCORE, we
%                         can summarize these observations by means of this
%                         option. Thus it requires a vector of the same
%                         size as TARGET.
%      - 'numThresh'    : Specify the (maximum) number of score intervals.
%                         Generally, splits are made such that each
%                         interval contains about the same number of sample
%                         lines.
%      - 'holdFigure'   : [0,1] draw into the current figure, instead of
%                         creating a new one.
%      - 'style'        : Style specification for plot command.
%      - 'plotROC'      : [0,1] Explicitly specify if ROC curve should be
%                         plotted.
%      - 'plotPR'       : [0,1] Explicitly specify if precision-recall curve
%                         should be plotted.
%      - 'plotBaseline' : [0,1] Plot a baseline of the random classifier.
%
%   By default, when output arguments are specified, as in
%         [PREC, TPR, FPR, THRESH] = PREC_REC(...),
%   no plot is generated. The arguments are the score thresholds, along
%   with the respective precisions, true-positive, and false-positive
%   rates.
