摘要: In the quantitative group testing problem, use of mean to identify if maximum is greater than a prefixed threshold (infected group) analyzed, using n independent and identically distributed individuals. Under these conditions, it shown that information sufficient classify each as infected or healthy with low probability misclassification when underline distribution unilateral heavy-tailed distribution.
