Abstract

Rakotomamonjy (RO-CAI, pp 71–80, 2009) proposed an ROC-SVM that optimizes the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) particularly useful for unbalanced classification. In this article, we establish the piecewise linearity of the ROC-SVM solutions as a function of regularization parameter, and develop an efficient algorithm for computing the entire regularization paths of the ROC-SVM. Finally we develop an R package, rocsvm.path, now available in CRAN.
