Group testing: History & Applications

In statistics and combinatorial mathematics, group testing is any procedure that breaks up the task of identifying objects into tests on groups of items, rather than testing each item individually. First studied by Robert Dorfman in 1943, group testing is a relatively new field of mathematics that can be applied to a wide range of practical applications…
