关于最优成对分组测试算法

On the Optimal Pairwise Group Testing Algorithm

Viktor Skorniakov, Ugnė Čižikovienė

AI总结:

本文针对Yao和Hwang提出的成对测试算法(PTA),在污染概率特定区间内其为唯一最优嵌套分组测试程序,首次系统刻画了其概率性质,填补了文献空白。

摘要:

分组测试(GT)的思想最初由Dorfman于1943年为血液检测问题提出,此后在其他领域也找到了许多应用。在自此引入的众多(二项式)GT程序中,Yao和Hwang于1990年提出了成对测试算法(PTA),并证明了当污染概率位于$\left[1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right]$区间时,PTA是唯一最优的嵌套GT程序。尽管该结果具有基础性,但PTA在文献中并未受到太多关注。特别是,其基本的概率性质仍未得到探索。在本文中,我们通过提供PTA概率性质的详尽刻画来填补这一空白。

英文摘要:

Originally suggested for the blood testing problem by Dorfman in 1943, an idea of Group Testing (GT) has found many applications in other fields as well. Among many (binomial) GT procedures introduced since then, in 1990, Yao and Hwang proposed the Pairwise Testing Algorithm (PTA) and demonstrated that PTA is the \emph{unique} optimal nested GT procedure provided the probability of contamination lies in $\left[1-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right]$. Despite the fundamental nature of the result, PTA did not receive considerable attention in the literature. In particular, even its basic probabilistic properties remained unexplored. In this paper, we fill the gap by providing an exhaustive characterization of probabilistic PTA properties.
