Example 1: An example of 5 patterns with 5 pools each. Every small table represents a pattern, and each color represents a pool in the pattern. (a) Pattern 1, (b) Pattern 2, (c) Pattern 3, (d) Pattern 4, and (e) Pattern 5. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0283874.g001

Prior research on pool testing focus on developing testing methods with the main objective of reducing the total number of tests. However, pool testing can also be used to improve the accuracy of the testing process. The objective of this paper is to improve the accuracy of pool testing using the same number of tests as that of individual testing t...

... order to simplify the coding process during simulation, n patterns that consist of 5 diagonal patterns, rather than row patterns, column patterns and diagonal patterns, are developed. As an example, lets assume N = 25 individuals, hence, n ¼ J ¼ K ¼ ffi ffi ffi ffi N p ¼ 5. Fig 1(e) shows the diagonal vertical 0-offset (column) pattern with 5 pools where every pool is marked by a distinct color. Compared to prior research, our method has the advantage of reducing the memory requirements significantly since the pool membership data is being calculated by the algorithm rather than storing them as a pooling matrix. ...

Likewise, the 1 st pool of the second pattern (the 2 nd diagonal pattern) is generated starting with individual (I 00 ) but with v_offset = 2, and so on. ...
