How to draw ROC curve using value of confusion matrix?

Question

Consider i have a classifier like A and the result of its classification gives me the following table:

    TP  TN  FP  FN
A   225 100 175 100
         


        

Answer 1

I don't understand why you'd simulate a new variable. You're basically asking to plot a curve from a single point, which is impossible. Instead, you should just use the dependent variable in the training or test data that you used to train the model. This will allow you to find a cutoff point that you consider optimal.

The pROC package allows us to plot ROC curves easily. Assuming we have a data frame named test and a model named mymodel, we could use something like this:

library('pROC')
plot(roc(test$y, predict(mymodel, test, type = "prob"))
