Optimality of group testing in the presence of misclassification

Several optimality properties of Dorfman's (1943) group testing procedure are derived for estimation of the prevalence of a rare disease whose status is classified with error. Exact ranges of disease prevalence are obtained for which group testing provides more efficient estimation when group size increases. Copyright 2012, Oxford University Press.
