Cumulative accuracy profile

A cumulative accuracy profile (CAP) is a concept utilized in data science to visualize discrimination power. The CAP of a model represents the cumulative number of positive outcomes along the y-axis versus the corresponding cumulative number of a classifying parameter along the x-axis. The output is called a CAP curve. The CAP is distinct from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which plots the true-positive rate against the false-positive rate. CAPs are used in robustness evaluations of classification models.
