Diagnosis Threshold Tool

Interactive simulation

Set the diagnostic thresholds

Adjust the cutoffs for the fictional symptoms, then compare how the number and distribution of diagnosed patients changes across one, two, and three dimensions.

Diagnosis thresholds

Step: N patients: Distribution:

x cutoff (included if x > cutoff) 7.0

y cutoff (included if y > cutoff) 7.0

z cutoff (included if z > cutoff) 7.0

Intuition: participants with values above the cutoff are included for that symptom.
