Some limitations of the present study should be mentioned' such as the lack of a
cutoff point for the estimation of visceral obesity based on a specific waist measure for the black population (3), a fact that may influence the identification of MetS and the predictive power of the indicators.
(19) An ROC curve is drawn with the true-positive rate (sensitivity) as the ordinate and the false-positive rate (1-specificity) as the abscissa to identify a
cutoff point for recognition of the disease.
We used receiver operating characteristic curve (Figure) to define the
cutoff point for CSF LDH to differentiate SAH from traumatic LP.
Generational
cutoff points aren't exactly a science, and should be viewed instead as tools.
In the following paragraphs, using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and Bayesian analyses, I make an attempt to compute the optimal TS
cutoff point for 257 randomly selected stocks.
SS has a sensitivity of 86.7% and specificity of 92.3% with a selected
cutoff point of 0.75 (AUC: 88.3; PPV: 97.5% and NPV: 66.6%).
The point with the larger Youden index, equal to sensitivity + specificity - 1, was defined as the superior
cutoff point. Two-sided values for p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Cutoff point for this indicator was 1.12, similar to other studies ranging from 1.13 to 1.23 [25, 26].
The optimal diagnosis
cutoff point of HE4 and CA125 on the ROC curves was 92.21 pmol/L and 31.32KU/L, respectively.
May, who was speaking at the end of a dinner at an EU leaders' summit in Brussels, after formal Brexit talks kicked off on Monday, said that UK was willing to agree to a "
cutoff point" between 29 March this year, when she had formally triggered article 50, and the later date of March 2019 preferred by the European commission.
Coun Jim Allan proposed the
cutoff point should be 10pm as this would allow any evening games to finish on time.
Using a numerical example, we shall attempt to demonstrate that the
cutoff point associated with the lowest P-Value of the Pearson's chi-squared test is the one that maximizes sensitivity and specificity, or overall accuracy, thus establishing the Criterion Standard Test.
