\title{Determine an optimal cutpoint for the Youden-Index assuming normal distributions}
\usage{
oc_youden_normal(
  data,
  x,
  class,
  pos_class = NULL,
  neg_class = NULL,
  direction,
  ...
)
}
\arguments{
\item{data}{A data frame or tibble in which the columns that are given in x
and class can be found.}

\item{x}{(character) The variable name to be used for classification,
e.g. predictions or test values.}

\item{class}{(character) The variable name indicating class membership.}

\item{pos_class}{The value of class that indicates the positive class.}

\item{neg_class}{The value of class that indicates the negative class.}

\item{direction}{(character) Use ">=" or "<=" to select whether an x value
>= or <= the cutoff predicts the positive class.}

\item{...}{To capture further arguments that are always passed to the method
function by cutpointr. The cutpointr function passes data, x, class,
metric_func, direction, pos_class and neg_class to the method function.}
}
\description{
An optimal cutpoint maximizing the Youden- or J-Index
(sensitivity + specificity - 1) is calculated parametrically assuming
normal distributions per class.

data(suicide)
oc_youden_normal(suicide, "dsi", "suicide",
  pos_class = "yes", neg_class = "no", direction = ">=")
