Statistics Theory 2017-12-27 v2 Statistics Theory

Abstract

The paper is focused on the problem of estimating the probability pp of individual contaminated sample, under group testing. The precision of the estimator is given by the probability of proportional closeness, a concept defined in the Introduction. Two-stage and sequential sampling procedures are characterized. An adaptive procedure is examined.
