ABSTRACT
Group testing is a cost effective procedure for identifying defective items in a large population. It also improves the efficiency of the testing procedure when imperfect tests are employed.This study develops computational group-testing strategy based on Kline et. al.,(1989) testing strategy. Statistical moments based on this applied design have been generated. With advent of digital computers in 1980`s, group-testing strategy under discussion is handled in the context of computationa statistics.
