Identification of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name of group testing. It involves grouping subsets of items into different pools and detecting defective members based…
We consider a new group testing model wherein each item is a binary random variable defined by an a priori probability of being defective. We assume that each probability is small and that items are independent, but not necessarily…
In group testing, the task is to identify defective items by testing groups of them together using as few tests as possible. We consider the setting where each item is defective with a constant probability $\alpha$, independent of all other…
In this paper, we introduce a variation of the group testing problem where each test is specified by an ordered subset of items and returns the first defective item in the specified order or returns null if there are no defectives. We refer…
The problem of Group Testing is to identify defective items out of a set of objects by means of pool queries of the form "Does the pool contain at least a defective?". The aim is of course to perform detection with the fewest possible…
Group testing is an approach aimed at identifying up to $d$ defective items among a total of $n$ elements. This is accomplished by examining subsets to determine if at least one defective item is present. In our study, we focus on the…
In the classical non-adaptive group testing setup, pools of items are tested together, and the main goal of a recovery algorithm is to identify the "complete defective set" given the outcomes of different group tests. In contrast, the main…
The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of defective items from within a larger set of items via a series of tests, where each test outcome indicates whether at least one defective item is included in the test. We…
Group testing concerns itself with the accurate recovery of a set of "defective" items from a larger population via a series of tests. While most works in this area have considered the classical group testing model, where tests are binary…
Group testing enables the identification of a small subset of defective items within a larger population by performing tests on pools of items rather than on each item individually. Over the years, it has not only attracted attention from…
Group testing is a well known search problem that consists in detecting the defective members of a set of objects O by performing tests on properly chosen subsets (pools) of the given set O. In classical group testing the goal is to find…
The group testing problem concerns discovering a small number of defective items within a large population by performing tests on pools of items. A test is positive if the pool contains at least one defective, and negative if it contains no…
In a group testing scheme, a set of tests is designed to identify a small number $t$ of defective items that are present among a large number $N$ of items. Each test takes as input a group of items and produces a binary output indicating…
The basic goal in combinatorial group testing is to identify a set of up to $d$ defective items within a large population of size $n \gg d$ using a pooling strategy. Namely, the items can be grouped together in pools, and a single…
This article reviews a class of adaptive group testing procedures that operate under a probabilistic model assumption as follows. Consider a set of $N$ items, where item $i$ has the probability $p$ ($p_i$ in the generalized group testing)…
In this paper we study a new, generalized version of the well-known group testing problem. In the classical model of group testing we are given n objects, some of which are considered to be defective. We can test certain subsets of the…
In the problem of classical group testing one aims to identify a small subset (of size $d$) diseased individuals/defective items in a large population (of size $n$). This process is based on a minimal number of suitably-designed group tests…
In this paper, we introduce a variation of the group testing problem capturing the idea that a positive test requires a combination of multiple ``types'' of item. Specifically, we assume that there are multiple disjoint \emph{semi-defective…
We consider some computationally efficient and provably correct algorithms with near-optimal sample-complexity for the problem of noisy non-adaptive group testing. Group testing involves grouping arbitrary subsets of items into pools. Each…
The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a larger set of items based on a number of possibly-noisy tests, and has numerous practical applications. One of the defining features of group testing is…
