Snippet: Rather than considering the application of a level of condence as an idiosyncracy of the method, it is actually a fundamental property of identifying asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers. Asymptomatic positives cannot be identied without testing them, we can only pick an upper bound on the cases with a high level of certainty. It might seem preferable to then choose a method that instead prescribes a group-size for each level of prevalence, such as Dor.....
Document: Rather than considering the application of a level of condence as an idiosyncracy of the method, it is actually a fundamental property of identifying asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers. Asymptomatic positives cannot be identied without testing them, we can only pick an upper bound on the cases with a high level of certainty. It might seem preferable to then choose a method that instead prescribes a group-size for each level of prevalence, such as Dorfman's method or divide and test, but for those methods the possibility that we have misjudged the prevalence still needs to be factored in! 6 Condence bounds on group testing methods We will apply DT and GBS with groups capped at 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 samples using two dierent levels of condence.
