Query: Revisiting nested group testing procedures: new results, comparisons,
  and robustness   Group testing has its origin in the identification of syphilis in the US army
during World War II. Much of the theoretical framework of group testing was
developed starting in the late 1950s, with continued work into the 1990s.
Recently, with the advent of new laboratory and genetic technologies, there has
been an increasing interest in group testing designs for cost saving purposes.
In this paper, we compare different nested designs, including Dorfman, Sterrett
and an optimal nested procedure obtained through dynamic programming. To
elucidate these comparisons, we develop closed-form expressions for the optimal
Sterrett procedure and provide a concise review of the prior literature for
other commonly used procedures. We consider designs where the prevalence of
disease is known as well as investigate the robustness of these procedures when
it is incorrectly assumed. This article provides a technical presentation that
will be of interest to researchers as well as from a pedagogical perspective.
