Re: st: RE: How to generate binary y?

[Sumedha Gupta <suguptastatlist@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thank you so much for your response. After I predict out of sample how
do I allocate 0/1 to the continuous predicted value i.e. what is the
cut off?  Probably this is a very basic question but I will really
appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Sumedha.
