Plotting ROC curves
The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve is a graph which illustrates just how well a set of predictor variables, measured on various cases, predict the group to which that case belongs.
In the example data below is collected to assess how well a cases's test score and sex can predict if the case is a control or a patient (the group).

The bigger the area under the ROC curve the better the prediction.
