We are therefore able to design a strategy to use less tests to determine whether each individual is positive or negative for the disease by testing mixtures of samples from groups. For each level of prevalence we specify a xed number of individuals to test their combined samples, performing binary search if it is positive. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.05.20050245 doi: medRxiv preprint 9 Performance of group testing methods at dierent prevalences For our performance analysis, we sample populations of sizes N = 100, 1000 at prevelance levels p = .001, .01, .02, .03, .04, .05, .1, .15, .2, and .25. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.05.20050245 doi: medRxiv preprint Figure 11 .1: For GBS32 we sample a population of size 10,000 and record the number of times each case is tested. ./cache/cord-286539-3sr4djft.txt ./txt/cord-286539-3sr4djft.txt
