Abstract: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis can be used to evaluate the performance of classifiers and find the optimal segmentation points of different categories. Among them, the non-parametric method has been widely used in practice because of its simplicity and flexibility.How to construct and evaluate receiver operating characteristic curve for the classified data by ROC nonparametric method was introduced .

Key words: binary classification, receiver operating characteristic curve, nonparametric method, ROC curve evaluation
