When already given tool values, how do I create cut-off values from scratch for a screening tool?

Expert Solution

Suppose I have a Questionnaire for a Stress assessment that contains 30 questions, each question has 5 answers (0- no stress, 1-mild stress, 2- moderate , 3-High stress, 4- Severe stress). The Total score of the 30 question varies from 0 - 120.

The cut off score usually is defined by the original author for the tool.

If you develop the tool, then you have to do pilot testing and validate it by a group of expert in the field who can decide the cut off point.

However, most of the inferential statistics assumptions recommend the Dependent Variable to be measured on a continuous scale, not a dichotomy

Make cutoff points using a calculator (Maximum- Minimum / n). How? In case of a five-point Likert scale, you may, for example, have assigned the value (1) for Strongly Disagree, (2) Slightly Disagree, (3) Neutral, (4) Slightly Agree, (5) Strongly Agree.

Do the math for the three categories (Low, Mid & High). How? Just add up the score of your interval value to the three category, as in the following:

Low (1 - 2.339),

Mid (2.34 - 3.669)

High (3.67 - 5).

Given a doubly linked list in c++, how do I create a function that returns the pointer to first node in the given pattern, For example, given mainList (a -> b -> c -> d) and sublist (b -> c), our function should return a Node pointer that points to first node of the sublist in the mainList. If the pattern doesn't exist in the mainList, we should return a nullptr, there are multiple of the same sublist in the mainList,...

How do you determine the Isoelectric Point of a molecule given multiple pKa values? I am working on a problem that gives me six pKa values, two of which share the same value. I've constructed a titration diagram already, but I am struggling to determine how to choose which pKa values to use to calculate the isoelectric point. I know that the IP is the point at which the overall charge of the molecule is neutral after levels of deprotonation,...

How do you run an ANOVA test when some of the values are non-numeric? I have a large excel database, over 100,000 cells worth of data. For the assignment, I need to see if there is a relation between the type of distribution channel (non-numeric) and the average amount of money spent (numeric). I HAVE to use ANOVA to solve this but I am not sure how. There are 11 different distribution channels and 100,000 different values for the amount...
