Syntax

modelDiscriminationPlot(lgdModel,data)
modelDiscriminationPlot(___,Name,Value)
h = modelDiscriminationPlot(ax,___,Name,Value)

Description

example

modelDiscriminationPlot(lgdModel,data) generates the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. modelDiscriminationPlot supports segmentation and comparison against a reference model.

example

modelDiscriminationPlot(___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments in addition to the input arguments in the previous syntax.

example

h = modelDiscriminationPlot(ax,___,Name,Value) specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments in addition to the input arguments in the previous syntax and returns the figure handle h.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Loss given default model, specified as a previously created Regression, Tobit, or Beta object using fitLGDModel.

Data Types: object

Data, specified as a NumRows-by-NumCols table with predictor and response values. The variable names and data types must be consistent with the underlying model.

Data Types: table

(Optional) Valid axis object, specified as an ax object that is created using axes. The plot will be created in the axes specified by the optional ax argument instead of in the current axes (gca). The optional argument ax must precede any of the input argument combinations.

Data Types: object

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: modelDiscriminationPlot(lgdModel,data(TestInd,:),'DataID','Testing','DiscretizeBy','median')

Data set identifier, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'DataID' and a character vector or string. The DataID is included in the output for reporting purposes.

Data Types: char | string

Discretization method for LGD data, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'DiscretizeBy' and a character vector or string.

  • 'mean' — Discretized response is 1 if observed LGD is greater than or equal to the mean LGD, 0 otherwise.

  • 'median' — Discretized response is 1 if observed LGD is greater than or equal to the median LGD, 0 otherwise.

  • 'positive' — Discretized response is 1 if observed LGD is positive, 0 otherwise (full recovery).

  • 'total' — Discretized response is 1 if observed LGD is greater than or equal to 1 (total loss), 0 otherwise.

Data Types: char | string

Name of a column in the data input, not necessarily a model variable, to be used to segment the data set, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'SegmentBy' and a character vector or string. One AUROC is reported for each segment, and the corresponding ROC data for each segment is returned in the optional output.

Data Types: char | string

LGD values predicted for data by the reference model, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ReferenceLGD' and a NumRows-by-1 numeric vector. The ROC curve is plotted for both the lgdModel object and the reference model.

Data Types: double

Identifier for the reference model, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ReferenceID' and a character vector or string. 'ReferenceID' is used in the plot for reporting purposes.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

collapse all

Figure handle for the line objects, returned as handle object.

Model Discrimination Plot

The modelDiscriminationPlot function plots the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.

The modelDiscriminationPlot function also shows the area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curve, sometimes called simply the area under the curve (AUC). This metric is between 0 and 1 and higher values indicate better discrimination.

A numeric prediction and a binary response are needed to plot the ROC and compute the AUROC. For LGD models, the predicted LGD is used directly as the prediction. However, the observed LGD must be discretized into a binary variable. By default, observed LGD values greater than or equal to the mean observed LGD are assigned a value of 1, and values below the mean are assigned a value of 0. This discretized response is interpreted as "high LGD" vs. "low LGD." The ROC curve and the AUROC curve measure how well the predicted LGD separates the "high LGD" vs. the "low LGD" observations. The discretization criterion can be changed with the DiscretizeBy name-value pair argument for modelDiscriminationPlot.

The ROC curve is a parametric curve that plots the proportion of

  • High LGD cases with predicted LGD greater than or equal to a parameter t, or true positive rate (TPR)

  • Low LGD cases with predicted LGD greater than or equal to the same parameter t, or false positive rate (FPR)

The parameter t sweeps through all the observed predicted LGD values for the given data. If the AUROC value or the ROC curve data are needed programmatically, use the modelDiscrimination function. For more information about ROC curves, see ROC Curve and Performance Metrics.
