In highly imbalanced datasets (with a positive rate below 5%), the area under the precision-recall curve (AP) often reflects the model's ability to detect the minority class better than AUC does.

UnverifiedWhen the ratio of positive to negative samples is extreme, the area under the PR curve (AUPRC) is often more revealing of true performance than AUC.83% similarUnverifiedAUC-PR (area under the precision-recall curve) is commonly used as a model evaluation metric on imbalanced datasets.79% similarUnverifiedIn imbalanced classification problems, a model can achieve very high accuracy even by predicting all samples as the majority class, so it is necessary to shift to more discriminative metrics such as precision-recall curves, F1 score, Matthews correlation coefficient, or AUC-ROC75% similarUnverifiedThe core advantage of AUC-ROC is its insensitivity to class imbalance; it reflects the model's overall discriminative ability across different classification thresholds, with AUC values ranging from 0.5 to 1.0.74% similarUnverifiedThe value of AUC ranges from 0 to 1, and a higher value indicates stronger classification ability of the model.71% similar
