After that, a positivity score was performed using a cut off level based on the upper limit of the 99% confidence interval of the normal controls.
The application of the SVM was contrasted to using a cut-off system, based on the recommendations in the respective papers.
Nearly one-third of participants are classified as from a low-income family using a cut-off of $35,000, based on the Statistics Canada Low Income Measure in 2007 [ 53].
The results of the TUG test were categorized using a cut-off value of 11 seconds, based on a receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis.
For the data set of centre B, Tvol was delineated using a cut-off of the TBR > 1.6 based on a previous biopsy controlled study [8].
(2) A rapid assessment instrument that attempts to briefly screen for the most common symptoms of psychiatric disorders by using a cut-off point to identify degrees of impairment based on specific scores (e.g., sleep, the quality-of-life scale[ 11], the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ)[ 12], and the Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories[ 13]).
The background ROI was placed in the contralateral hemisphere to the tumour in an area of normal-appearing brain tissue including white and grey matter, identically for centres A and B. For the data set of centre A, the tumour volume (Tvol) was delineated using a cut-off of the TBR > 1.8 which is based on the clinical experience in that centre [16, 20].
Based on this, using a cut-off value of 15 units, participants were grouped to have "no consumption", "moderate consumption", or "high consumption".
Diagnosis based on a single acute-serum sample requires using a cut-off antibody titer.
The goodness of fit of 2 models was compared by F-statistic using a significant cut-off based on a false discovery rate criterion [ 82, 83].
