    """Plots calibration curves for a set of classifier probability estimates.

    Plotting the calibration curves of a classifier is useful for determining
    whether or not you can interpret their predicted probabilities directly as
    as confidence level. For instance, a well-calibrated binary classifier
    should classify the samples such that for samples to which it gave a score
    of 0.8, around 80% should actually be from the positive class.

    This function currently only works for binary classification.

    Args:
        y_true (array-like, shape (n_samples)):
            Ground truth (correct) target values.

        probas_list (list of array-like, shape (n_samples, 2) or (n_samples,)):
            A list containing the outputs of binary classifiers'
            :func:`predict_proba` method or :func:`decision_function` method.

        clf_names (list of str, optional): A list of strings, where each string
            refers to the name of the classifier that produced the
            corresponding probability estimates in `probas_list`. If ``None``,
            the names "Classifier 1", "Classifier 2", etc. will be used.

        n_bins (int, optional): Number of bins. A bigger number requires more
            data.

        title (string, optional): Title of the generated plot. Defaults to
            "Calibration plots (Reliabilirt Curves)"

        ax (:class:`matplotlib.axes.Axes`, optional): The axes upon which to
            plot the curve. If None, the plot is drawn on a new set of axes.

        figsize (2-tuple, optional): Tuple denoting figure size of the plot
            e.g. (6, 6). Defaults to ``None``.

        cmap (string or :class:`matplotlib.colors.Colormap` instance, optional):
            Colormap used for plotting the projection. View Matplotlib Colormap
            documentation for available options.
            https://matplotlib.org/users/colormaps.html

        title_fontsize (string or int, optional): Matplotlib-style fontsizes.
            Use e.g. "small", "medium", "large" or integer-values. Defaults to
            "large".

        text_fontsize (string or int, optional): Matplotlib-style fontsizes.
            Use e.g. "small", "medium", "large" or integer-values. Defaults to
            "medium".

    Returns:
        :class:`matplotlib.axes.Axes`: The axes on which the plot was drawn.
