Several optimality properties of Dorfman's (1943) group testing procedure are derived for estimation of the prevalence of a rare disease whose status is classified with error. Exact ranges of disease prevalence are obtained for which group testing provides more efficient estimation when group...

A critical issue in modelling binary response data is the choice of the links. We introduce a new link based on the generalized t-distribution. There are two parameters in the generalized t-link: one parameter purely controls the heaviness of the tails of the link and the second parameter...
