Optimal Risk-based Pooled Testing in Public Health Screening, with Equity and Robustness Considerations
Group (pooled) testing, i.e., testing multiple subjects simultaneously with a single test, is essential for classifying a large population of subjects as positive or negative for a binary characteristic (e.g., presence of a disease, genetic disorder, or a product defect). While group testing is …

Evaluating pooled testing designs in community and healthcare settings for infectious disease management and in particular for epidemics
Testing policies are an essential tool when designing a strategic, coordinated response to an epidemic such as COVID-19. A crucial aspect to consider both when designing and implementing a testing strategy as an intervention is the number of tests available. Given a limited testing capacity, pooled …

Advancing Pandemic Response: Integrated Strategies for Testing, Prediction, and Bias Mitigation
… designed to optimize resource use and increase testing capacity, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where resources are limited. This study leverages pooled testing methods, where multiple samples are combined into a single test to conserve resources, and advanced …

Topics in Heterogeneous Group Testing
<p>DISS_abstract> Since the early 1940s, group testing has been widely used to reduce costs in a variety of applications, including infectious disease screening, drug discovery, and genetics. Statistical research in group testing generally splits into two areas: classification and estimation. …

Robust and Equitable Public Health Screening Strategies, with Application to Genetic and Infectious Diseases
… public health screening problems include large testing populations and resource limitations that inhibit screening efforts. Cost is a major barrier to the inclusion of genetic disorders in newborn screening, and thus screening must be both highly accurate and efficient; and for COVID-19, limited …
