getAUC: Returns the Area under the ROC curve.

In rrecsys: Environment for Evaluating Recommender Systems

Description

Computes the Area Under the ROC curve for a recommendation task of an algorithm with its given configuration and based on the given evaluation model.

Usage

getAUC(model, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'evalModel'
getAUC(model, alg, ... )

Arguments

model	Object of type evalModel. See evalModel-class.
alg	The algorithm to be used in the evaluation. Of class character.
...	other attributes specific to the algorithm to be deployed. Refer to rrecsys.

Value

Returns a data frame with the AUC for each of the k-folds defined in the evaluation model and the overall average.
