ROC curves are a good way to visualize sensitivity vs. 1-specificity for varying cut off points. Now, implement, in "model.ipynb", a "ROC" function that predicts the labels of the test set examples using different *threshold* values in "predict" and plot the ROC curve. "ROC" takes a list containing different *threshold* parameter values to try and returns two arrays; one where each entry is the sensitivity at a given threshold and the other where entries are 1-specificities.
