Abstract: ABSTRACT Dichotomization of continuous variables to discriminate a dichotomous outcome is often useful in statistical applications. If a true threshold for a continuous variable exists, the challenge is identifying it. This paper examines common methods… read more here.

Abstract: Objective The total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) measured from fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET can be useful for determining the prognosis of patients with lymphoma. Stratifying patients into high- and low-TMTV risk groups requires a cutoff… read more here.
