Bilder, C., Tebbs, J., and McMahan, C. (2018). Informative Group Testing for Multiplex Assays. Submitted for publication.

Programs to calculate E(T) and accuracy measures:

• ExampleCases.R: Computes E(T), PSe, PSp, PPPV, and PNPV for a few example cases. Reads in code from Exp_tests.R and PSe_PSp.R to complete the computations.
• Exp_tests.R: Computes E(T).
• PSe_PSp.R: Computes PSe, PSp, PPPV, and PNPV.

Program used for Section 4:

• Section4.R: Performs the simulations for this section and produces Figures 1, 2, and 3. Reads in code from Exp_tests.R and PSe_PSp.R to complete the computations.

Programs and data files used for Section 5:

• Section5-2stage.R: Implements two-stage informative and non-informative group testing. Reads in code from DecodeFunctions.R and Utility.R to complete the computations.
• Section5-3stage.R: Implements three-stage informative and non-informative group testing. Reads in code from DecodeFunctions.R and Utility.R to complete the computations.
• < DecodeFunctions.R: Emulates how group testing would be performed.
• Utility.R: Computes PSe, PSp, PPPV, and PNPV for observed data.
• FU.ID2011phat.csv: Data for female urine specimens from Idaho
• MU.ID2011phat.csv: Data for male urine specimens from Idaho
