I am having a hard time finding the probability threshold that zinb uses to include/limit observations in the count model. Is there a set probability threshold? If not how do I find the threshold?

After running zinb for a number of count models, I was seeking to run a simple logit model by dichotomizing my dv instead of having a count. I would like to limit my observations by excluding those that would be in the certain zero group. Of course the significance of the logit coefficients would be affected by the threshold I set (which observations are included). I would like to use the logit model to seek not what causes multiple occurrences (count) but what factors lead to the likelihood of an occurrence, from zero to one, for those observations not in the certain zero group.

If there is not a set probability threshold or it can not be found, what would be the best probability to use? 50% cutoff? Mean probability cutoff?

Thank you for any help!
