In group testing, simple binary-output tests are designed to identify a small number $t$ of defective items that are present in a large population of $N$ items. Each test takes as input a group of items and produces a binary output…
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…
We study the group testing problem with non-adaptive randomized algorithms. Several models have been discussed in the literature to determine how to randomly choose the tests. For a model ${\cal M}$, let $m_{\cal M}(n,d)$ be the minimum…
Group testing, a problem with diverse applications across multiple disciplines, traditionally assumes independence across nodes' states. Recent research, however, focuses on real-world scenarios that often involve correlations among nodes,…
The principal goal of Group Testing (GT) is to identify a small subset of "defective" items from a large population, by grouping items into as few test pools as possible. The test outcome of a pool is positive if it contains at least one…
The goal of combinatorial group testing is to efficiently identify up to $d$ defective items in a large population of $n$ items, where $d \ll n$. Defective items satisfy certain properties while the remaining items in the population do not.…
The group testing problem is concerned with identifying a small set of infected individuals in a large population. At our disposal is a testing procedure that allows us to test several individuals together. In an idealized setting, a test…
We introduce a novel probabilistic group testing framework, termed Poisson group testing, in which the number of defectives follows a right-truncated Poisson distribution. The Poisson model has a number of new applications, including…
In probabilistic nonadaptive group testing (PGT), we aim to characterize the number of pooled tests necessary to identify a random $k$-sparse vector of defectives with high probability. Recent work has shown that $n$ tests are necessary…
In the context of fault-detection problems, the objective is to identify all defective items among a set of $n$ binary-state items using the minimum number of tests. The {group testing} paradigm, which allows testing a subset of items in a…
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…
In group testing, the goal is to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on tests whose outcomes indicate whether at least one defective item is present. This problem is relevant in areas such as medical…
In the group testing problem, the goal is to identify a subset of defective items within a larger set of items based on tests whose outcomes indicate whether any defective item is present. This problem is relevant in areas such as medical…
The goal of the group testing problem is to identify a set of defective items within a larger set of items, using suitably-designed tests whose outcomes indicate whether any defective item is present. In this paper, we study how the number…
Given $d$ defective items in a population of $n$ items with $d \ll n$, in threshold group testing without gap, the outcome of a test on a subset of items is positive if the subset has at least $u$ defective items and negative otherwise,…
Group testing with inhibitors (GTI) introduced by Farach at al. is studied in this paper. There are three types of items, $d$ defectives, $r$ inhibitors and $n-d-r$ normal items in a population of $n$ items. The presence of any inhibitor in…
We consider the problem of detecting a small subset of defective items from a large set via non-adaptive "random pooling" group tests. We consider both the case when the measurements are noiseless, and the case when the measurements are…
Group testing tackles the problem of identifying a population of $K$ defective items from a set of $n$ items by pooling groups of items efficiently in order to cut down the number of tests needed. The result of a test for a group of items…
Applied statistical problems often come with pre-specified groupings to predictors. It is natural to test for the presence of simultaneous group-wide signal for groups in isolation, or for multiple groups together. Classical tests for the…
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…
