Adaptive Group Testing Algorithms to Estimate the Number of Defectives

Abstract

We study the problem of estimating the number of defective items in adaptive Group testing by using a minimum number of queries. We improve the existing algorithm and prove a lower bound that shows that, for constant estimation, the number of tests in our algorithm is optimal.
