Abstract
Several optimality properties of Dorfman's (1943) group testing procedure are derived for estimation of the prevalence of a rare disease whose status is classified with error. Exact ranges of disease prevalence are obtained for which group testing provides more efficient estimation when group size increases.Year: 2011 PMID: 23049137 PMCID: PMC3412609 DOI: 10.1093/biomet/asr064
