ROC curves plot true positive rates (TPR) versus false positive rates (FPR) for a given classifying procedure. This post discuses these curves as they might apply to different scientific disciplines.
It suggests that such curves are a more sophisticated way of judging the trade-offs inherent in science, and briefly discusses ways to improve ("lower") these curves, including awareness of "researcher degrees of freedom".
