Evaluating Treatment Effects using Group Testing with Retesting of Positive Groups
利用阳性组复检的群组检测评估处理效应

Originally introduced during World War II for large-scale screening and heavily utilized in modern high-throughput public health infrastructure, traditional group testing methods are restricted to purely associational analyses.
