This code performs the following tasks:

1. Create a numeric vector p_hat:

   p_hat <- rep(NA_real_, nrow(df))
   

   • NA_real_ is used to create a missing value (NA) of type numeric (real number).
   • nrow(df) retrieves the number of rows in the dataframe df.
   • rep(NA_real_, nrow(df)) creates a vector of length equal to the number of rows in df, with all elements initialized to NA_real_.

   So, p_hat will be a numeric vector of the same length as the number of rows in df, with all entries set to NA.

2. Initialize an empty numeric vector aucs:

   aucs <- c()
   

   • c() is the combine function in R that creates a vector.
   • With no arguments, it creates an empty vector.

   Therefore, aucs will be an empty numeric vector.

Summary:

• The code initializes two variables:
  • p_hat: A numeric vector of length equal to the number of rows in the dataframe df, filled with NA values.
  • aucs: An empty numeric vector that will likely be used later to store computed values.
