What is a Cutoff Value?

A cutoff value, in the context of statistics and data analysis, is a predetermined threshold used to divide data into two or more classifications. It serves as a decision point or boundary in a test or analysis. For instance, in a medical test, a cutoff value may be used to determine whether a patient’s results are normal or abnormal. The selection of a cutoff value can significantly impact the results and conclusions drawn from the analysis.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ CV = \frac{100 \cdot 0.8}{1 - 0.1} = \frac{80}{0.9} \approx 88.89 \]

The Cutoff Value (CV) is approximately 88.89.
