The AUC (ROC score) is the area under the ROC, normalized to 1 for a perfect inference and 0.5 for a random inference. The sensitivity is defined as TP/(TP+FN), the specificity is defined as TN/(TN+FP) and the PPV (positive predictive value) is defined as TP/(TP+FP), where TP, FP, TN, FN are the number of true positives, false positives, true negatives and false negatives, respectively.
