Limited testing capacity for COVID-19 has hampered the pandemic response. Pooling is a
testing method wherein samples from specimens (eg, swabs) from multiple subjects are …

Population screening played a substantial role in safely reopening the economy and
avoiding new outbreaks of COVID-19. PCR-based pooled screening makes it possible to …

Problem definition: Infectious disease screening can be expensive and capacity
constrained. We develop cost-and capacity-efficient testing designs for multidisease …

Developing rapid tools for early detection of viral infection is crucial for pandemic
containment. This is particularly crucial when testing resources are constrained and/or there …

We consider the problem of partitioning a set of items into unlabeled subsets so as to
optimize an additive objective, ie, the objective function value of a partition is equal to the …

We study the problem of designing optimal targeted mass screening of non‐uniform
populations. Mass screening is an essential tool that is widely utilized in a variety of settings …

Testing provides essential information for managing infectious disease outbreaks, such as
the COVID‐19 pandemic. When testing resources are scarce, an important managerial …

We consider the problem of targeted mass screening of heterogeneous populations under
limited testing capacity. Mass screening is an essential tool that arises in various settings …

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, active testing has risen as a key component of
many response strategies around the globe. Such strategies have a common denominator …

We provide a clustering procedure for a special type of dataset, known as frequency data,
which counts the frequency of a certain binary outcome. An interpretation of the data as a …
