On the All-Or-Nothing Behavior of Bernoulli Group Testing
Lan V. Truong, Matthew Aldridge, Jonathan Scarlett · 2020-01-28 · via cs.IT updates on arXiv.org

In this paper, we study the problem of non-adaptive group testing, in which one seeks to identify which items are defective given a set of suitably-designed tests whose outcomes indicate whether or not at least one defective item was included in the test. The most widespread recovery criterion seeks to exactly recover the entire defective set, and relaxed criteria such as approximate recovery and list decoding have also been considered. In this paper, we study the fundamental limits of group testing under the significantly relaxed {\em weak recovery} criterion, which only seeks to identify a small fraction (e.g., $0.01$) of the defective items. Given the near-optimality of i.i.d.~Bernoulli testing for exact recovery in sufficiently sparse scaling regimes, it is natural to ask whether this design additionally succeeds with much fewer tests under weak recovery. Our main negative result shows that this is not the case, and in fact, under i.i.d.~Bernoulli random testing in the sufficiently sparse regime, an {\em all-or-nothing} phenomenon occurs: When the number of tests is slightly below a threshold, weak recovery is impossible, whereas when the number of tests is slightly above the same threshold, high-probability exact recovery is possible. In establishing this result, we additionally prove similar negative results under Bernoulli designs for the weak detection problem (distinguishing between the group testing model vs.~completely random outcomes) and the problem of identifying a single item that is definitely defective. On the positive side, we show that all three relaxed recovery criteria can be attained using considerably fewer tests under suitably-chosen non-Bernoulli designs.
