Percent of misclassified individuals correctly identified on the basis of two cutoff probabilities across the four simulation scenarios

Cutoff probability	D1		D2		D3		D4
	Misclass	Correct	Misclass	Correct	Misclass	Correct	Misclass	Correct
Hard	0.65	0	0.94	0	0.44	0	0.97	0
Soft	1.00	0	0.98	0	0.86	0	1.00	0

Notes: Hard: cutoff probability was set at 0.5. Soft: cutoff probability was equal to the overall mean of the probabilities of being misclassified over the entire data set plus two standard deviations. Misclass: individuals who were misclassified. Correct: correctly coded individuals. The following data sets were simulated: 5% and 0% miscoding rates and moderate OR (D1) or extreme OR (D2); 7 and 3% miscoding rates and moderate OR (D3) or extreme OR (D4).

Abbreviation: OR, odds ratio.
