function [tpr,tnr,info] = vl_roc(labels, scores, varargin)
%VL_ROC   ROC curve.
%   [TPR,TNR] = VL_ROC(LABELS, SCORES) computes the Receiver Operating
%   Characteristic (ROC) curve [1]. LABELS is a row vector of ground
%   truth labels, greater than zero for a positive sample and smaller
%   than zero for a negative one. SCORES is a row vector of
%   corresponding sample scores, usually obtained from a
%   classifier. The scores induce a ranking of the samples where
%   larger scores should correspond to positive labels.
%
%   Without output arguments, the function plots the ROC graph of the
%   specified data in the current graphical axis.
%
%   Otherwise, the function returns the true positive and true
%   negative rates TPR and TNR. These are vectors of the same size of
%   LABELS and SCORES and are computed as follows. Samples are ranked
%   by decreasing scores, starting from rank 1. TPR(K) and TNR(K) are
%   the true positive and true negative rates when samples of rank
%   smaller or equal to K-1 are predicted to be positive. So for
%   example TPR(3) is the true positive rate when the two samples with
%   largest score are predicted to be positive. Similarly, TPR(1) is
%   the true positive rate when no samples are predicted to be
%   positive, i.e. the constant 0.
%
%   Setting a label to zero ignores the corresponding sample in the
%   calculations, as if the sample was removed from the data. Setting
%   the score of a sample to -INF causes the function to assume that
%   that sample was never retrieved. If there are samples with -INF
%   score, the ROC curve is incomplete as the maximum recall is less
%   than 1.
%
%   [TPR,TNR,INFO] = VL_ROC(...) returns an additional structure INFO
%   with the following fields:
%
%   info.auc:: Area under the ROC curve (AUC).
%     This is the area under the ROC plot, the parametric curve
%     (FPR(S), TPR(S)). The PLOT option can be used to plot variants
%     of this curve, which affects the calculation of a corresponding
%     AUC.
%
%   info.eer:: Equal error rate (EER).
%     The equal error rate is the value of FPR (or FNR) when the ROC
%     curves intersects the line connecting (0,0) to (1,1).
%
%   info.eerThreshold:: EER threshold.
%     The value of the score for which the EER is attained.
%
%   VL_ROC() accepts the following options:
%
%   Plot:: []
%     Setting this option turns on plotting unconditionally. The
%     following plot variants are supported:
%
%     tntp:: Plot TPR against TNR (standard ROC plot).
%     tptn:: Plot TNR against TPR (recall on the horizontal axis).
%     fptp:: Plot TPR against FPR.
%     fpfn:: Plot FNR against FPR (similar to a DET curve).
%
%     Note that this option will affect the INFO.AUC value computation
%     too.
%
%   NumPositives:: []
%   NumNegatives:: []
%     If either of these parameters is set to a number, the function
%     pretends that LABELS contains the specified number of
%     positive/negative labels. NUMPOSITIVES/NUMNEGATIVES cannot be
%     smaller than the actual number of positive/negative entries in
%     LABELS. The additional positive/negative labels are appended to
%     the end of the sequence as if they had -INF scores (as explained
%     above, the function interprets such samples as `not
%     retrieved'). This feature can be used to evaluate the
%     performance of a large-scale retrieval experiment in which only
%     a subset of highly-scoring results are recorded for efficiency
%     reason.
%
%   Stable:: false
%     If set to true, TPR and TNR are returned in the same order
%     of LABELS and SCORES rather than being sorted by decreasing
%     score.
%
%   About the ROC curve::
%     Consider a classifier that predicts as positive all samples whose
%     score is not smaller than a threshold S. The ROC curve represents
%     the performance of such classifier as the threshold S is
%     changed. Formally, define
%
%       P = overall num. of positive samples,
%       N = overall num. of negative samples,
%
%     and for each threshold S
%
%       TP(S) = num. of samples that are correctly classified as positive,
%       TN(S) = num. of samples that are correctly classified as negative,
%       FP(S) = num. of samples that are incorrectly classified as positive,
%       FN(S) = num. of samples that are incorrectly classified as negative.
%
%     Consider also the rates:
%
%       TPR = TP(S) / P,      FNR = FN(S) / P,
%       TNR = TN(S) / N,      FPR = FP(S) / N,
%
%     and notice that, by definition,
%
%       P = TP(S) + FN(S) ,    N = TN(S) + FP(S),
%       1 = TPR(S) + FNR(S),   1 = TNR(S) + FPR(S).
%
%     The ROC curve is the parametric curve (FPR(S), TPR(S)) obtained
%     as the classifier threshold S is varied in the reals. The TPR is
%     the same as `recall' in a PR curve (see VL_PR()).
%
%     The ROC curve is contained in the square with vertices (0,0) The
%     (average) ROC curve of a random classifier is a line which
%     connects (1,0) and (0,1).
%
%     The ROC curve is independent of the prior probability of the
%     labels (i.e. of P/(P+N) and N/(P+N)).
