How could a pooled testing policy have performed in managing the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic? Results from a simulation study

B Heath, SS Villar, DS Robertson - Statistics in Medicine, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
A coordinated testing policy is an essential tool for responding to emerging epidemics, as
was seen with COVID‐19. However, it is very difficult to agree on the best policy when there …

Group testing with a dynamic infection spread

B Arasli, S Ulukus - 2022 IEEE International Symposium on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study a dynamic infection spread model, inspired by the discrete time SIR model, where
infections are spread via non-isolated infected individuals. While infection keeps spreading …

Optimal Dorfman group testing for symmetric distributions

NC Landolfi, S Lall - SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science, 2024 - SIAM
We study Dorfman's classical group testing protocol in a novel setting where individual
specimen statuses are modeled as exchangeable random variables. We are motivated by …
