#What do ROC and AUC imply?

Greetings, I have problem understanding how ROC exactly imply. So from what I understood through the various videos I have gone through is that all classification machine learning predict by probability as per the function "predict_proba" which shows you the negative and positive probabilities and by default, the class with > 0.5 probability becomes positive. But we might not want that in some cases where we want our model to be more confident for example we might want to pick only > 0.75 or so that is where ROC is supposed to come to play to show the performance through various thresholds 0.0 to 1.0

#

But here is what I dont get, seems like we can make up the ROC independently of the model and each algorithm has different behavior so how are we relying on only TRP and FPR to decide about a model?

#

if you dont exactly understand what i am saying, please feel free to just explain the concepts in another way. I might be messing everything up I know. hmm
