Abstract:The Sequential Testing Problem (STP) seeks to minimize the total expected cost of administering a series of tests which determine the quality of a system. When the probabilities of passing or failing a test are independent there exist many methods to solve the problem efficiently, but there is little research exploring the effect of dependency between tests. Motivated by the process of evaluating living kidney donors, we explore a variant of the STP which assumes that the probability of passing a given test is… Show more
