Resumen
- In the context of logistic regression models, a cut-off point is usually selected to dichotomize the estimated predicted probabilities based on the model. The techniques proposed to estimate optimal cut-off points in the literature, are commonly developed to be applied in simple random samples and their applicability to complex sampling designs could be limited. Therefore, in this work we propose a methodology to incorporate sampling weights in the estimation process of the optimal cut-off points, and we evaluate its performance using a real data-based simulation study. The results suggest the convenience of considering sampling weights for estimating optimal cut-off points.
