What is the underlying algorithm of "Find threshold"

I understand that the "Find threshold" operator uses ROC to determine the best threshold. But, what kind of algorithm it uses to select the threshold? For example, (1) optimizes the precision and recall, or (2) something like this: http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/29719/how-to-determine-best-cutoff-point-and-its-confidence-interval-using-roc-curve-i, or (3) other

 

Thanks!

    Great, thanks. Let me take a look!

    I tried to understand the code in the method "public ROCData createROCData", but I am not quite understanding what method it is using to determining the best threshold. Is there any paper that it is based on?

     

    The code is in:

    "https://github.com/rapidminer/rapidminer-studio/blob/85d3bee36c026a70580075092ed85ac517369e8e/src/main/java/com/rapidminer/tools/math/ROCDataGenerator.java"

    Hi,

    I revive this post because I had to use Find Threshold and it doesn't perform as I expect it. After giving it both costs for missclassification, it doesn't return an optimal threshold. I had to multiply one of the costs by 10 to obtain a better threshold. I have looked at the Java code, but as usual it's very time consuming to know what's going on. So I am only giving a warning that it may be something wrong. In general, answering "take a look at the Java code" is not much of an answer, we need to have better references for each of the methods.


    Here is the process I used:

    I have also tried to optimize the threshold without cross validation, and it doesn't give the best one even for the training data!


    Going a bit to other topic, the Optimize Threshold operator from the Operator Toolbox could be enhanced to accept other performance measures or accept missclassification costs.

    Hi @SGolbert,

    I'm not able to reproduce what you observe with the "Titanic" dataset.
    Could you share your data specifying  : 
     - what you observe.
     - what you expect.

    Thanks you,

    Regards,

    Lionel

    Hi @SGolbert,
    w.r.t the toolbox one: Noted. I planned to add a version with a subprocess where you can deliver you custom performance measure. But - time as usual..

        </process>
      </operator>
    </process>


    This process doesn't use cross-validation, but the cross-validated result is the same (in this case the unexpected behaviour could be caused by applying a model on unseen data, therefore I am testing on the training set to catch the bug).


    The problem is simple, I have missclassifications cost of 25 (no fraud) and 10 (fraud). It is actually more expensive to missclassify a loyal customer than a fraud customer. I define these costs in the operator Find Threshold and then evaluate the results with Performance (Costs).


    The problem is that I get better results when I use cost1 = 250 in Find Threshold instead of cost1 = 25. If you can explain me why is it so, I would really appreciate it!


    Kind regards,

    Sebastian
