Correct, the TPR-FPR curve (ROC) was originally intended for tuning a free
parameter, in signal detection, and is a binary-type metric.
For ML problems, it lets you tune/determine an estimator's output value
threshold (e.g., a probability or a raw discriminant value such as in SVM)
for arriving an optimized model that will be used to give a final,
binary-discretized answer in new prediction tasks.

Hope this helps, J.B.
