The AUC function, in the modEvA package, initially computed only the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Now, since modEvA version 1.7 (currently available on R-Forge), it also offers the option to compute the precision-recall curve, which may be better for comparing models based on imbalanced data (e.g. for rare species) — see e.g. Sofaer et al. (2019).
Usage example:
library(modEvA) mod <- rotif.mods$models[["Ktropi"]] par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) AUC(mod, main = "ROC curve") AUC(mod, curve = "PR", main = "Precision-recall curve")
