Abstract

It has been suggested that the "Maximum Realisable Receiver Operating Characteristics" for a combination of classifiers is the convex hull of their individual ROCs [Scott et al., 1998]. As expected in at least some cases better ROCs can be produced. We show genetic programming (GP) can automatically produce a combination of classifiers whose ROC is better than the convex hull of the supplied classifier's ROCs.
