AUC

Total under graph

AUC stands for "area under the curve," a metric used in statistics and machine learning to evaluate how well a model distinguishes between categories.

A perfect classifier scores 1.0; random guessing scores 0.5.

The model achieved an AUC of 0.92 on the test set.

In pharmacology, AUC measures total drug exposure over time—the area under a concentration-time graph.
