PrevMed Biostats Club: Search for a significant (and hopefully scientifically relevant) threshold

Presenter: Dr. Mehmet Kocak
Wed., 10/08/14, 10am, Room 400 in the Doctors’ Office Building (66 N. Pauline, Memphis).

Abstract: In this talk, we will share a set of SAS macro programs developed to search for a significant threshold in a continuous marker in association with a binary, continuous, or survival endpoint. We will discuss how to choose a ‘reasonable’ threshold, and the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
