This paper provides a comprehensive review of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, a common metric for evaluating binary classifiers. It formalizes the probabilistic interpretation of the area under the ROC curve, which represents the likelihood of a random positive sample being ranked higher than a random negative sample. Additionally, the paper establishes bounds for deviations from this interpretation when certain hypotheses are not met. AI
