Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a model with an AUC of 0.85. Briefly explain what this tells you about the model, and whether it suffices for fraud detection purposes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the impacts of false negatives in fraud cases.

Question 2

Create an ROC curve using hypothetical true positive and false positive values, and explain how you would interpret the shape and area.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how each plotted point influences the overall evaluation of the classifier.
