Dear R-philes,

I am plotting ROC curves for several cross-validation runs of a classifier (using the function below). In addition to the average AUC, I am interested in obtaining a confidence interval for the average AUC. Is there a straightforward way to do this via the ROCR package?

You should probably contact the authors. When I tried using that package a few weeks ago, several of the annotation features were broken. I contacted the author who said there had been problems after converting to S4 method. He also said there would be a fix but not immediately. There has been a release since that time and I tried it, but it did not appear to fix the problems I encountered. All I was able to get were very simple ROC curves without any confidence intervals or marking of levels. I ended up turning to the Epi package for what I needed ( but I did not need confidence intervals so cannot comment on that aspect.)


I'm wondering what was broken with the S3 implementation that made them change to S4.
