Batch testing involves testing items in a group rather than testing the items individually for resource saving purposes. Estimation of proportion of a trait of interest using batch testing model insulates individuals of a population against stigma. In this paper, an estimator of the unknown proportion of a trait in batch testing model based on a quality control process is constructed and its properties discussed. In quality control, a batch is rejected if constituent defective members are greater than l, the cut off value. It is observed that if l = 0, then the obvious batch testing strategy is obtained. Hence when l > 0, the batch testing strategy is generalized. The proposed model is superior to the existing models when the proportion of a trait is relatively high. The application of the model on Genetically Modified Organisms contamination is carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
