Summary: Optimal screening procedures are derived using Bayesian decision theory. A simple heuristic solution is determined using an asymptotic posterior distribution for the parameters in a linear probit model. The solution is shown to be optimal within a class of possible procedures and robust to departures from model assumptions.
