📰 Dev.to · Dev Patel

Learn to evaluate machine learning models using confusion matrices, ROC curves, and AUC for better performance and decision-making

intermediate Published 18 Aug 2025
Action Steps
  1. Build a confusion matrix to visualize true positives, false positives, true negatives, and false negatives
  2. Plot a ROC curve to assess model performance at different thresholds
  3. Calculate the AUC to determine the model's ability to distinguish between classes
  4. Compare the AUC of different models to select the best one
  5. Apply these metrics to evaluate and improve your machine learning model's performance
