ROC curve, ROC AUC

Also written: ROC AUC, AUC, ROC curve, roc_auc_score, roc_curve, area under the curve, receiver operating characteristic

The ROC curve plots true positive rate against false positive rate at every threshold. Its area (AUC) is the chance a random canceler outranks a random stayer: 0.5 is guessing and 1.0 is perfect.
