thresholdOutcome
Threshold outcome is the binary result produced after applying a thresholding rule to a numerical measurement or score. It represents the state that occurs when a value crosses a predetermined boundary, separating instances into two categories such as positive versus negative, detected versus not detected, or success versus failure. In practice, a threshold outcome often serves as a simple decision rule that triggers subsequent actions or interpretations.
Mathematically, if X denotes a measured value and t denotes the threshold, the threshold outcome Y is
Applications span diverse fields. In medical diagnostics, an biomarker level above a threshold may indicate disease;
Threshold selection is critical and commonly guided by balancing trade-offs. Methods include maximizing accuracy, optimizing sensitivity
Limitations include information loss from binarizing continuous data, sensitivity to thresholds, and potential miscalibration across different
