Resumo(s)

Pooled sample tests, firstly used on the classification problem (identifying all individuals with some characteristic), may also be applied to estimate the prevalence rate. Moreover, the pooled sample methods may attain greater efficiency when applied to estimate some prevalence rate, since it is no longer necessary to perform any individual test.We develop a maximum likelihood computational algorithm for the prevalence rate estimation, and we analyze its performance.
