A population of items is said to be “group-testable”,(i) if the items can be classified as “good”
and “bad”, and (ii) if it is possible to carry out a simultaneous test on a batch of items with two …

Classification of items as good or bad can often be achieved more economically by
examining the items in groups rather than individually. If the result of a group test is good, all …

In the context of group testing screening, McMahan, Tebbs, and Bilder (2012, Biometrics 68,
287–296) proposed a two-stage procedure in a heterogenous population in the presence of …

Simple Summary Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (C Las) is a putative causal agent of
Huanglongbing, a serious citrus pathogen. Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera …

This paper considers a single-server infinite-buffer queue with batch-arrival, batch-service,
and generally distributed batch-size-dependent service time. Based on supplementary …

Group testing with variable group sizes for incomplete identification has been proposed in
the literature but remains an open problem because the available solution approaches …

We study a blood testing procedure for detecting viruses like HIV, HBV and HCV. In this
procedure, blood samples go through two screening steps. The first test is ELISA (antibody …

Discrete-time queueing models find a large number of applications as they are used in
modeling queueing systems arising in digital platforms like telecommunication systems and …

We consider multistage group testing with incomplete identification and unreliability
features. The objective is to find a cost‐efficient group testing policy to select a prespecified …

We study reliable multinomial probabilistic group testing models with incomplete
identification. We assume that every of the pooled items has none or some of k attributes …
